What is HARMONY ADULT DAY SERVICES?
Harmony is an adult day center, which provides structured socialization and health monitoring for our guests, as well as respite for caregivers. We serve seniors/adults of all abilities in the greater Dayton area who cannot be safely left alone, who demonstrate a decline in cognitive functioning, or who are just in need of increased socialization. Our hours of operation are Monday - Friday, 8:30am - 4:00pm.

What types of activities are clients involved in?
We provide a daily activity, meal schedule, and special events calendar. The daily activity schedule provides details about the program that enhances cognitive skills and physical engagement. We have time set aside for social hour, current events, group and individual activities (crafts, baking, games, gardening, etc.), health updates, and more. Our day also includes exercises classes and nutritious meals. Participate in the community by hosting different performance groups from the area.

Can I drop my loved one off whenever I need a rest?
We ask that our guests attend on a regular basis. This not only develops a schedule for your loved one, but it also helps them to establish a relationship with the staff and other guests. A guest may choose to attend every day or just a few half-days a week. Twenty-four hour notice is required for a cancellation. And, with notice, often a guest may change their scheduled day to attend.

Is there a waiting list?
We do have limited openings on certain days. If there are no openings on a day you wish to attend, we will place your name on a waiting list for that day and notify you immediately when a space becomes available. We encourage you to go through the application process even if the day you wish to attend is full. Openings change weekly.

What does the enrollment process involve?
To enroll in our program, an enrollment interview needs to be scheduled in order for the Office Manager to meet with the prospective guest. This meeting takes approximately 45 minutes.

We also conduct a quick assessment to ensure that our services are appropriate for the prospective guest.
