Services

We are in the smile business. The center provides structured therapeutic activities, health and case management services, rehabilitation and other ancillary services. Specific services provided at the adult day center include:

• Therapeutic Program Activities
  Includes exercise, arts & crafts, current events, guest speakers and performances, music therapy, pet therapy, group games, socialization, and daily living skills training. Nutritious meals and snacks are provided according to individualized dietary needs.
• Nursing Supervision
  A Registered Nurse is on site at all times, and personal care attendants provide individualized care to the clients. Our personal care attendants undergo extensive health training, similar to that of a certified nursing assistant. Health services include medication administration, personal care, health and wellness screenings. The medical staff provides an array of health-related assessments and services to the client and their families.
• Rehabilitation Services
  Includes Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy and Speech Therapy. Licensed therapists provide OT, PT and ST to qualified participants via specialty Medicaid programs, Workman's Compensation and private pay.
  • Occupational Therapy
    Addresses Activities of Daily Living, including dressing, self-feeding and toileting. Sensory dysfuntion and integration are also a focus of Occupational Therapy. OT also works on higher level activities such as money management, meal preparation, home management, social skills, work skills and a variety of functional cognitive issues such as safety and problem solving.
  • Physical Therapy
    Assists individuals to increase strength, coordination and endurance, as well as improve balance in order to improve overall functional mobility. PT also addresses transfers, which is the ability to move from one surface to another (from the wheelchair to the bed, for example), as well as the participants' ability to walk.
  • Speech Therapy
    Addresses participant's communication skills as well as swallowing issues. Communication skills include the ability to produce articulate speech, as well as the cognition (mental ability) to carry on meaningful conversation. Speech therapy also assists individuals with improving executive functions, such as problem solving, memory and functional tasks including money management and safety.
• Home Based Therapy Services
  Our therapists travel to participant's homes to provide therapy. We feel that providing services in the home affords many opportunities and benefits to the client. The individual's deficits are more accurately realized and carryover of techniques is greater, as activities are practiced in the actual environment in which they are performed. Family and/or caregiver training is also more efficient in the home setting.
• Case Management Services
  We provide assistance to clients to insure the continuum of care. Care managers, most of whom are registered nurses or social workers, assess candidates for services and assist families with accessing community resources. We refer to our case managers as “Care Managers” because we emphasize the individualized care we provide our clients. Our Care Managers assure that the client's and family's needs are met by connecting them to approved providers who deliver services either on site or in the home. Care Managers are available 24 hours a day for emergency purposes.
• Billing Services
  Kaleidoscope, Inc. billing services are customized to fit your needs, whether you would like us to process your claims, follow up with denials (HCR, HHA, DCBS), or track prior approvals. Our billing services can help you avoid frustration from the billing process, limit length of time your claims are in suspension, avoid trying to keep precise records to avoid recoupment and we will keep up with the constant changes in waiver rules and regulations for you.
• Work-related injury can be very disabling for the injured and produce an increased burden on the caregiver. Work-related injuries not only cause a loss of income, but a loss of roles and abilities for that individual. Many of these cases benefit from a rehabilitation program and/or day services. Kaleidoscope, Inc. accepts Workman's Compensation cases. We recognize that improved function leads to increased quality of life and greater independence for those injured on the job.
• Other ancillary services include social work. A Social Worker is on staff to work with clients and families to provide the best quality of care. This includes providing tours, completing assessments and family conferences, establishing client care plans, and providing assistance to families and clients as needed.
