Providence provides socialization, supervision, therapy, activities, nutrition, medical and physical care to senior adults living in the Spokane area with cognitive, physical and developmental limitations.

Providence ElderPlace is a PACE program - Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly. Those enrolled with ElderPlace receive complete medical care, medications, medical supplies, adult day care, in-home care, care coordination, transportation and more. All the care and services covered by Medicare and Medicaid are included, when authorized by your health care team. Most ElderPlace enrollees are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid benefits, but this is not a requirement.

Regular program hours are 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Average attendance is two days a week. Extended hours are available between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on a case-by-case basis.

There are physical fitness and restorative therapy groups, reminiscence, brain fitness activities, music, and cooking groups as well as games, puzzles, arts and crafts, woodworking, pet therapy and gardening.

We have personal care aides, rehabilitation and nursing staff with a high staff-to-client ratio. Clients can receive personal care, toileting and grooming. A variety of therapeutic activities are provided to restore or maintain clients’ functioning.

We also provide a balance enhancing/fall prevention program. Our nurses provide wound, catheter and colostomy care, and may also provide tube feedings, pulmonary treatments and administer medication. They collaborate with your physician in medication, diabetes, cardiac, pain and general health monitoring and management. We also provide case management and caregiver support groups.

Funding sources include Medicaid, DDD (Department of Developmental Disabilities), Veteran’s Administration, United Way dollars, long-term care insurance, and private pay. We welcome donations to help fund services for those who are unable to pay the full cost of our services. If you would like to make a donation or a planned gift to Providence Adult Day Health, make a donation online, or call our administrative office at 509-565-2557.

Clients are in a safe, supervised environment with their peers, where they can be active, mentally stimulated and have fun. Adult day health helps improve seniors' confidence, mood, strength and energy level. The therapy and care they receive keeps them in their home environment and helps prevent ER visits, hospitalizations and nursing home placement. Occupational therapy has been proven the single best intervention for improving cognitive functioning in dementia clients. Coming to Providence ElderPlace also gives caregivers a much needed break, and the assurance that their family member or client is well cared for.
