Over 30 Years
Grasmere on Park Adult Day Program at Jewish Senior Services has over 30 years of experience as a key resource for seniors in southern Connecticut. The program serves individuals who may be experiencing physical and/or memory challenges and are in need of opportunities for socialization and recreation.

Our Philosophy
Our Program’s philosophy is to meet the individual’s medical needs within a socially stimulating environment. Clients are able to remain living in their own homes much longer as a result of their participation and support services provided within the Program. By offering different levels of nursing services, rehabilitative therapies, care management, therapeutic recreation, socialization, and interactive programs, we are able to ensure a successful experience for each participant.
Services available to participants at the Adult Day Program include:
- Treatments and medications dispensed by a registered nurse
- Supervision and programming by a professional clinical staff
- Personal care & bathing by certified nursing assistants
- Delicious, light breakfast, hot lunch & snacks
- Intergenerational activities in coordination with community schools and youth groups
- Enclosed terrace for safely enjoying the outdoors
- Specialized door-to-door wheelchair and escorted transportation.

Jewish Senior Services is certified as a medical model Adult Day Program through the Connecticut Association of Adult Day Services in cooperation with the State of Connecticut Department of Social Services.
