The Collins House Adult Day Respite (Senior Care Solutions)

Senior Care Solutions runs an adult day respite program on the lower level of The Collins House, a renovated one-story home in Festus that also has a few assisted living bedrooms upstairs. The day program is for families who need daytime respite care, in a safe, secure, home-like setting with its own kitchen, dining and living areas, a quiet room, an activities room, a fitness area and outdoor space. The business is owned and led by an occupational therapist, and staff receive dementia-care training beyond state requirements. Reviews, mainly from families of residents, describe a warm, family-style home and attentive care. It is licensed in Missouri as an Adult Day Care (Alzheimer unit) for up to 20 participants.

Day participants receive personal care, nutritious meals, medication management, laundry services, social activities and transportation. The lower level includes a large activities room, a fitness area and a quiet room, and staff are trained in dementia care.

The program is at 102 Collins Dr, Festus, MO 63028. Senior Care Solutions says the day program is open weekdays and by appointment; Google lists 24 hours because of the residence, so call for day hours. Call (314) 749-0986 to schedule a tour.
