We Are Not Your Typical Adult Day Care Program!
We serve adults from 18 years and up and our program focuses on socialization activities that involve everyone at every age. Our program is busy, interactive and fun with daily opportunities for wildlife encounters! Services are individually designed for your loved one's overall well being and independence.
Services are provided in our handicap accessible facility is located in Farmington, New York.
Our Farmington site offers a country setting where outdoor activities are offered and our Donhauser/Ross Wildlife Education Center is based. The Center is set in a park-like setting and offers public viewing of our animal ambassadors, native and exotic wildlife that have been raised and rescued and cared for by our staff and program members. The Center offers opportunities for the public to learn about wildlife, their habitats and wildlife conservation in a "real-world" environment. The Center enables schools and community groups to visit on-site during the warmer months and provides a sense of purpose and skill-building to our program members, while also providing a safe environment for our animal ambassadors.
