The North Carolina Adult Day Services Association (NCADSA) serves as the central voice for adult day service providers in North Carolina.

The North Carolina Adult Day Services Association (NCADSA), a non-profit trade association, serves as the central voice for adult day service providers and the people who use adult day services in North Carolina. NCADSA member centers provide innovative programs that support individuals with physical or mental disabilities in a safe environment during the day. Individuals attending day centers often include persons with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia, developmental disabilities, heart disease, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injuries and those recovering from strokes. Families of the people served in adult day centers enjoy peace of mind and a break from the caregiving routine.

Barbara Taylor, Health Care Coordinator at Coltrane LIFE Center and NCADSA Executive Director Teresa Troup were honored to celebrate the ribbon cutting for the newest PACE Senior TLC at Kannapolis yesterday. While in the area, Teresa's visits at Care A Lot Adult Day Care in Kannapolis and Coltrane LIFE Center in Concord provided engagement opportunities with NCADSA members and more stamps on the NCADSA Passport. More stops today included Stanly Adult Care Center and The Life Center of Davidson County,Inc. Teresa has visited 45 centers since she returned to NCADSA in April 2025. An unexpected encounter with Elvis in Lexington was a great way to end another road trip to explore more of North Carolina's greatest treasures--adult day centers!

To say that adult day centers have creative staff and loads of fun in a safe and caring environment is an understatement!

The NC Coalition on Aging today recognized two amazing female aging advocates posthumously as 2026 Champions for Aging, both of who made significant contributions to adult day services in North Carolina. The awards were presented at the Coalition's 2026 Annual Meeting and Luncheon. One of the many accomplishments for Ann B. Johnson was influencing the opening of one of NC's first adult day centers, Durham Center for Senior Life, over 50 years ago.

In 1981, Linda Pearce Thomas opened Elderhaus, an adult day center in Wilmington, NC. Then, in 2008, she established Elderhaus as the state's first Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). Linda's nephew Dorian Cromartie and Elderhaus Executive Director Ruth Finch attended the event to accept the award. It is fitting that the Champions were honored during National Adult Day Services week.

We received a new stamp today in our passport by attending the 20th Anniversary Celebration and Open House at The Glade Adult Day Center at Glenaire! NCADSA recently announced The Passport Project to encourage adult day center workers to explore other centers in North Carolina and discover new friendships, ideas for building designs, programming or even marketing. Attendees at the recent 2026 Adult Day Services Symposium received their passports and their first "stamps"--one from NCADSA and one from Senior Services Inc. of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, the parent company for Williams Adult Day Center. Congratulations to The Glade Adult Day Center at Glenaire on 20 years of life-changing services for adults who prefer to live in their own homes and communities for as long as possible!

Care. Connection. Community. It's not just a theme for a special week to celebrate adult day centers. It is a description of an outstanding volunteer who leads Tai Chi every Monday at Soltys Place in Hillsborough, NC. She brings patience, encouragement, dignity and genuine human connection to every participant she serves. Judith Lechner leads more than a class of connection. After her class she demonstrates genuine concern for the participants, asking what they enjoyed, what they found difficult and what they would like to see in future classes. She reminds them that their experiences, opinions and abilities still matter. Judith has been giving her time and changing lives at Soltys Place since November 2024. In an ever-changing fast-paced world, the staff and participants welcome her consistency, and her dependable presence has become woven into the rhythm of the program. The joy she brings is felt by everyone in the building. Thank you, Judith, for caring, connecting and sharing in your community!

The NC Department of Health and Human Services and the Kerr-Tar Council of Governments hosted a Listening Session today in Oxford, NC, to hear from older adults, adults with disabilities, caregivers and community members. The session was the second of three in-person ones designed to gather feedback to help identify community needs, priorities and opportunities to inform the 2027-2031 State Aging Plan. (Two virtual sessions will be hosted in 2027.) Common themes that were repeated by speakers included support for home and community-based services, affordable housing and senior friendly transportation.
