Winter Growth Adult Day Program – Olney

Winter Growth's Montgomery County center in Olney runs a medical adult day program alongside its assisted living and memory care, part of a nonprofit that has served Howard and Montgomery counties for over 45 years. The program offers daily strength training to reduce fall risk, memory-enhancing programming for people with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease, nursing oversight and disease and medication management. Winter Growth is a VA-approved provider for the VA's Adult Day Health Care program and lists Medicaid, Senior Care, state and county grants and long-term care insurance as ways to offset costs. Families describe compassionate, engaging staff, good meals, and peace of mind on the days their loved one attends. It is licensed in Maryland as an Adult Medical Day Care for up to 61 participants.

The program includes daily strength training classes, memory-enhancing programming, healthy meals, nursing oversight and disease and medication management. Staff give hands-on help with eating, walking and incontinence, and on-site physical, occupational and speech therapy is available for conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's and hip fractures. Transportation to and from the center is offered, and indoor corridors allow walks in any weather.

The center is at 18110 Prince Philip Dr, Olney, MD 20832. Google lists the campus as open 24 hours, which reflects the residence; call for day program hours.
