Adult Day Services.

Adult Day Services (ADS) is a personalized program for adults who are physically, socially, emotionally, and mentally challenged, or frail due to advanced age. ADS helps older people maintain their independence by providing stimulating activities. It also gives family caregivers a break from their daily caregiving routine — time to shop, pay bills, seek medical attention for themselves, or simply rest.

Adult Day Services serves families in Carter, Greene, Sullivan, Washington, and Unicoi counties. Funding sources include the TN Department of Human Services, the City of Johnson City, Social Services Block Grant, Veteran's Administration, United Way, City and County Governments, Medicaid Waiver Funds, Private Pay, Community Contributions, and fundraising activities.
