Newark’s Essex County is home to The Oasis at Sinai Adult Medical Day Care, an adult day health care program at 65 Jay Street run by Sinai Center For Rehabilitation And Healthcare LLC. The area is very walkable (Walk Score 81), so families dropping off or picking up a parent can handle errands nearby without much trouble. The program keeps weekday hours only, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and serves participants 65 and older.
The day itself is structured around health monitoring and wellness support, with meals planned to fit individual dietary needs. Transportation is arranged for participants who need it, and there’s a dedicated space for relaxation and massage. Arts, games, and cognitive engagement fill out the activity calendar, and the program runs SilverSneakers, a national fitness program focused on strength and balance for older adults.
Cost can be a real barrier for day programs like this one, so it matters that several assistance pathways are available here: Medicaid’s Managed Long Term Services and Supports, New Jersey’s JACC caregiving assistance, PAAD pharmaceutical help, Medicare Savings Programs, and the state’s family caregiver support funding. On the regulatory side, inspections have centered on care planning and documentation and on resident rights and protections.
This is a program built for a specific kind of family situation: an older adult who still lives at home but needs structured health monitoring and social contact during the day, with a caregiver who needs the daytime hours covered.
