MemoryLane Care Services Adult Day Center (Toledo)

MemoryLane Care Services is a nonprofit focused on Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, and its Toledo adult day center provides care, support and companionship for older adults who need assistance and supervision during the day. Participants get cognitive enrichment, socialization, light exercise, music and entertainment, meals, personal care and nursing care, and families can choose every weekday or just a few days a week. Each new participant is paired with an assigned staff member to help them settle in, and all physical activities can be done seated. Families in reviews describe a warm, family-like staff, engaging activities and a safe setting for parents with dementia, with one noting her mother still attends at 101. The program is listed in the AdultDayOhio directory of adult day services.

The day includes structured activities to encourage socialization and stimulate the mind, light exercise and stretching, music and other live entertainment, and healthy meals and snacks. Participants receive personal care assistance and nursing care. Sensory stimulation groups serve people who are unable to join other activities because of cognitive or physical limits. MemoryLane also offers care coaching and caregiver support.

The Toledo center is at 2500 N Reynolds Rd, Toledo, OH 43615, and is open Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Fees follow a cost-share model subsidized by the Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio and the Lucas County Senior Services Levy; financial help may be available through Ohio's PASSPORT Medicaid waiver, MyCare Ohio or the Department of Veterans Affairs, and some long-term care insurance covers adult day services. Call (419) 720-4940 for admissions.
