Adult daycare




I need to get DH out among people and looking into adult daycare . Very few in my area but some 20-30 min away . Thinking of taking him with me is this a good idea or should I check them out in my own first?

I had thought I would visit alone the first time but the facility recommended I bring DW with me. I guess that makes sense. They will need to see her and she will need to see the place in order to determine if there is a fit. There is not much point in delaying that with extra visits.

We went to visit a Senior Center together under the guise of my wanting to find something interesting for me to do. It did not go well but if it had my plan was to go together until my husband liked being there.

I have been playing gospel and classic country music for local assisted living facilities for a couple years now. DW is my "roadie" and helps with the equipment and setup, and she is getting familiar and hopefully more comfortable with such facilities as time goes on. I think anything that can be done to keep surprises out of it will reap some benefits in the future to make the transition into daycare or memory care easier.
