BRITESIDE - all about us

Briteside Adult Day Centers, located in Flemington and Lebanon Borough, New Jersey are warm and friendly places that help older adults (age 55+) in need of some supervision during the day to maintain their vitality.

It is the goal at Briteside to provide a program of social adult day care with activities assigned to accentuate the positive and encourage independence; to promote good health, nutrition, and self-esteem. The Centers provide an alternative for care enabling participants to remain part of the community and offering caregivers respite.

Every day the Briteside Centers include a coffee and social hour in the morning, a complete lunch at noon, and an afternoon snack. Participants exercise every day with a walk in the mornings and various other exercises specifically designed for seniors. Exercise with props is a fun activity at Briteside -- scarves, lumi sticks, towels, etc. And then, our participants love to dance!

Our participants also like to play games. Some of our favorites include Skee Ball and Bowling. We also enjoy playing with our giant parachute! A real crowd pleaser is Balloon Volleyball. This activity puts pep in all our steps! We also make time for table games such as dominos, Yahtzee, and jig saw puzzles. Not surprisingly, we sing a lot of the old songs from the 20's, 30's and 40's.We also learn new songs that we can all sing together.

Day Break at Briteside

The Day Break at Briteside Program provides affordable, reliable hourly care in a safe homelike setting. We offer comfortable, enjoyable times for the senior while their caregiver is away during the day.

Registration is required prior to the day of service. A registration package is sent to the caregiver to complete at home and an appointment is scheduled for a visiting hour to introduce the caregiver and care recipient to Briteside and to go over the paperwork.

After registration, scheduled appointments can be made for days of service. Seniors can be dropped off on that day on the hour or half hour.
