Welcome to the UCC Adult Day Center!
UCC's Adult Day Center provides services designed to meet the needs of those with cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer's and other dementia, those with caregiver needs, and those with physical impairments. The program is structured and comprehensive, providing a variety of health, social, recreational, and support services in a protective setting during the daytime hours.
Our goal at the Adult Day Center is to ensure all participants truly enjoy each day by offering a variety of opportunities for them to experience at their own pace. In addition, the Adult Day Center strives to provide support for all caregivers.
The daily activities are specially designed to create a "homelike" environment for participants to establish friendships and foster independence and satisfaction. Participants discover previously unrecognized talents and develop new skills through a diverse assortment of activities, which vary daily to allow participants to experience a full and flexible schedule.
All services offered are available in both Español and English. The Adult Day Center is located on the 2nd floor of the United Community Center at 1028 S. 9th Street, Milwaukee, WI 53204. Please use the 8th Street Entrance.
