2016 Excellence in Adult Day Services Award
This award recognizes an outstanding and innovative adult day center. The Nominee must make an exceptional contribution related to services, education or advocacy to improve adult day services.
We would like to congratulate the winner of the 2016 Excellence in Adult Day Services Award recipient, Young in Spirit Adult Care Center, St. Louis, Laura Bone, Director.
“Young in Spirit ADC has been taking care of the elderly, mentally challenged and the DD population since 2006. Young in Spirit is licensed by the DHSS since 2006 and certified with the DMH since 2013. The staff at Young in Spirit go beyond their regular staff duties; their loving, caring ways make individual clients feel very special. We attempt always with a smile on our faces, to offer a fun filled day for our clients. Our Activities Dept. has been busy planning out trip in the community. Last year, Young in Spirit client’s visited the St. Louis Zoo, a Cardinal game, the History Museum, the Art Museum, took the tour through the Anheuser-Busch Brewery in St. Louis, had lunch out on several occasions, and went to the movies and bowling. Again this year, we plan on increasing our Community Outings. Most of our client’s would not be able to enjoy these outings without attending a day program. Every Thanksgiving Young in Spirit host a special Thanksgiving Luncheon for our client’s and their families with almost 100% participation, to let them know how grateful we are to serve them.
Young in Spirit has recently hired a part-time Occupational Therapist Assistant to do our therapy based activities, i.e. walking club, parachute, and exercises. Our LPN has years of experience with medication administration and nursing assessments. Young in Spirit ADC uses a mobile Physical Therapy Company, for client’s requiring therapy, so family does not have to schedule during their work week. We also offer Podiatry Services for client’s and family’s convenience. Our family members have voiced appreciation for these services we offer.
Young in Spirit ADC has been members of MoADSA since its beginning. Our Program Director has served on the Board and has attended the annual conference, each year to bring back and disseminate to employees all the pertinent information needed to grow our Adult Day Center. Young in Spirit ADC has good working relationships with many other community partners, for which help support our client’s in the community.”
