About Us
Why Shantiniketan Care?
We aim to approach care through a holistic view. It is our job to enhance the health of individuals who we serve.
Shantiniketan Care Adult Day Center will provide adult day care programs to residents of Lackawanna County and surrounding communities with an environment that utilizes the cultural knowledge and customs of the people they serve. Many seniors that have come to the United States do not speak English and cannot be engaged in many of the activities offered at traditional English-speaking centers so programs will be offered in the language of the participants. Enrollment will not be limited to one culture but an emphasis will be placed on reaching participants of various cultures and hiring staff that will help assist participants feel just like home.
The environment is carefully planned based on an assessment of the participant’s abilities and needs. Aging is part of the normal process of life with an increase in cognitive and physical disabilities, and, for the most part, the participants are not “sick.” We want to cultivate a familiar environment for both our caregivers and participants and not portray a “hospital-like” atmosphere.
Our Mission
We offer high-quality personalized care to make your day!
Center staff creates an atmosphere of support and affection while also providing the materials, equipment, and understanding required to optimize the experiences of each participant. The adult day services program assistants serve as facilitators rather than directors of activities. When performing personal care, the staff is there to encourage independence yet provide help when needed.
