Our Service
The Community Adult Day Care (CADC) is a not-for-profit organization serving Downers Grove and the surrounding community.

The center's function is to provide a dignified and pleasant environment for any adult needing daytime care.  Adult day care offers families and clients an alternative to full-time care in the home.

Our Program
The Center operates Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m. - 5:45 p.m.

The Center offers daily activities programs, including recreational, social, intellectual and spiritual programs.  Clients may also participate in field trips, offered on a monthly basis. 

Lunch and appropriate refreshments and snacks are served at the Center.

Our Staff
The Center is staffed by a full-time Executive Director and several friendly, dedicated and caring full- and part-time employees, including a Nurse Consultant.

The Center is also fortunate to have an extensive volunteer program, providing the Center and its clients with additional everyday support.

History
The Community Adult Day Care Center opened in December 1986.  The center was created through a coalition of local churches and their dedicated volunteers.  The Board of Directors is made up of representatives of the member churches and members-at-large.
