Exceptional Adult Day Care Services for Hobart, IN, Families
At Sunlite Adult Day Care, we understand that families in Hobart want the very best for their loved ones—a place that feels like home while providing the professional medical oversight they need. Located just minutes away, we offer a vibrant, safe, and health-focused environment for seniors and adults requiring daytime supervision.
A Community Connection You Can Trust
We take pride in our deep roots within the Lake County healthcare community. To ensure a seamless continuum of care for our members, we frequently coordinate with Christian Home Health Services.
By working closely with their skilled nursing and home health teams, we ensure that the care your loved one receives at our center perfectly complements the support they receive at home. This collaborative approach between physical therapists and home health aides minimizes health risks and maximizes independence.
Local Landmarks and Lifestyle
We love the Hobart community! Our program is designed to keep our members connected to the local spirit they’ve known for years. We often incorporate local themes and discussions inspired by Hobart’s favorite spots:
- Deep River County Park: We celebrate the heritage of Wood’s Historic Grist Mill through seasonal activities and storytelling.
- Maria Reiner Center: We respect the incredible work of the Maria Reiner Senior Center and offer a complementary medical-model service for those who require more hands-on clinical supervision than a traditional social club.
- Lakefront Park: From the sights of the gazebo to the summer festivities downtown, we bring the best of Hobart’s culture into our daily social calendar.
Our Process
Step 1 – Discovery Call and Pre-Screening
The journey begins with a brief, 10-minute phone consultation. This allows the family to share their specific needs and allows your team to ensure the member is a good fit for the medical-model environment.
• Goal: Verify basic eligibility (mobility, care level) and answer immediate questions about hours or cost.
Step 2 – The On-Site Tour
The caregiver and the potential member visit the Merrillville facility for a walk-through to view the facility and speak directly with the owners.
Step 3 – Clinical Assessment and Paperwork
Sunlite is physical therapist-owned and focuses on clinical wellness; a formal assessment is required. This involves reviewing medical history to understand the member's current care plan. Create a customized "Individualized Care Plan" and finalize payment details.
Step 4 – The "Sunlite Transition" Day
The first official day is a supervised transition. The staff pays extra attention to the new member to help them integrate into social groups and get comfortable with the routine.
• Goal: Ensure the member leaves their first day happy and eager to return.
• Action: Send a mid-day text or photo to the family on Day 1 to give them peace of mind that their loved one is thriving.
