Adult Day Services

Adult Day Services at Catholic Charities provides affordable, quality day programs which help program participants reach for their highest potential while surrounded with genuine care and compassion.

With programs for both adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and seniors facing dementia, Alzheimer’s or loneliness, Adult Day Services offers a bright and vibrant space for clients to reach for the stars as they enhance daily living skills and enjoy being part of a loving community.

If you have a loved one who is on the autism spectrum, or who has ADHD, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome or other developmental challenges, or a senior with dementia or Alzheimer’s who would benefit from enriching activities, consider allowing Adult Day Services at Catholic Charities to walk with you on this journey. 

Come tour our new campus

Program participants enjoy a bright and spacious new building at 2235 W. 37^th St. N. The campus includes 5.5 acres and is nestled in a quiet neighborhood near the I-235 and K-96 interchange in Wichita.

The 25,600-square foot building offers 10 spacious program rooms and a large multipurpose room for communal dining and large group activities. All rooms are connected by wide hallways of smooth, polished concrete floors. Program participants have access to 22 ADA-compliant bathrooms. Three large changing rooms and a roll-in shower help us meet everyone’s daily hygiene needs with dignity.

New amenities

The larger building and new campus offers us the opportunity to expand available services with these new amenities:

Dedicated Sensory Room

The new sensory room will help program participants learn how to regulate their brain’s negative reactions to external stimuli that they can see, smell, hear or touch. Tools in the sensory room will help participants develop coping skills for those experiences.

Consistent access to a sensory room will help program participants who are on the autism spectrum, or who have ADHD, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome or other developmental challenges in the areas of communications, movement, balance and social skills.

Coming soon! Outdoor Recreation Area

Later this year, construction will begin on what is sure to become the most popular feature at Adult Day Services: a large accessible outdoor recreation area. The outdoor space will include a splash pad, canopy-covered picnic area, percussion and tactile equipment, swinging equipment and a large multi-purpose area for a variety of activities.

The entire outdoor area will be encompassed by a wide, concrete walking path and will be fenced.

Safely Serving during a pandemic

Caring for our program participants is at the heart of what our staff does every day. For the past year, we have remained committed to their health and well-being by taking all necessary precautions against COVID-19. We practice social distancing in the program and dining rooms. Nearly everyone wears a face mask or shield all of the time. Program rooms, common spaces and all enrichment items are frequently sanitized. Many of our staff and participants have received vaccinations.
