ADULT DAY HEALTH
ABOUT CIRCLESOF CARING
Welcome!
Since 2001, Circles of Caring Adult Day Health
has been a treasured resource, providing services to individuals and families living on the Palouse. The skilled services provided by qualified professionals working for our program make it possible for many vulnerable adults and elders to remain in a emotionally-supportive care.
Adult Day Health participants come from all walks of life. For many years these individuals have served the Palouse region as teachers, musicians, lawyers, physicians, janitors, scientists, homemakers, business owners, veterans, plumbers, and police officers -- to name a few. Thanks to their dedication and willingness to give their best to the community, the Palouse region is a vibrant, life-giving, and wholesome place to live and work. These individuals now deserve our help, and this program.
