About Us
Irvine Adult Day Health Services (IADHS) is a vital community resource for families caring for an older or disabled loved one. We are proud of our history and ability to innovate in offering daytime social engagement opportunities, personalized health monitoring and supportive services to individuals experiencing memory loss, mobility challenges, and other chronic health conditions.
IADHS is housed in a 5,600 square foot wing of the Lakeview Senior Center. Establishing a joint use facility for the adult day services program and the active senior center was a visionary concept.
This is the only shared use facility in Orange County that offers a continuum of care service options that meet seniors’ social, medical, and psychological needs.
Our Center is licensed to serve 60 participants per day. We support families who reside in Irvine and the broader Orange County area.
Key Aspects Of Adult Day Health Care
Irvine Adult Day Health Care (IADHS) is a specialized program designed to provide comprehensive health and social services to older adults and individuals with chronic illnesses or disabilities. It is a community-based service that offers a structured and supervised environment during daytime hours, while allowing participants to return to their homes in the evenings.
The primary goal of our program is to enhance the overall well-being and quality of life for older adults who may require some level of assistance or monitoring but wish to remain living at home. It provides a supportive setting where participants can engage in a range of activities and receive various services tailored to their individual needs.
