Northwest Focal Point Senior Center Adult Day Care

This adult day care is run at the Northwest Focal Point Senior Center, a City of Margate senior center on NW 10th Street. It is designed for older adults with physical or cognitive impairments, including dementia, and aims to delay premature institutionalization while giving caregivers peace of mind. Staff include an operations manager, a licensed practical nurse, a recreation specialist and certified nursing assistants, supported by volunteers. Google reviews mostly concern the wider senior center and are mixed, with one calling it a good place to bring loved ones for the day. It is licensed by the State of Florida as an Adult Day Care Center for up to 90 participants.

A monthly calendar includes arts and crafts, bingo, puzzles, board games, cards, current events, dominoes, exercise, health talks, lectures, parties, sing-alongs and trivia. Lunch is served at 11 a.m., and vital signs are checked monthly.
