FAQ’s

What is Naperville Senior Center?

Naperville Senior Center (NSC) is dedicated to providing quality care and day service to adults, including those with cognitive and physical challenges. We aspire to improve the functional skills of every Member to promote personal independence and overall well-being.

• Help seniors to remain in their own homes
• Improve and enrich the vital, independent living
• Enhance dignity and self-respect
• Encourage participation in community life.

We developed Naperville Senior Center as a local resource to help Members remain in their homes or with loved ones and to stay independent for as long as possible.  See what people are saying about us on Yelp.

Senior Center FAQs

Home Away From Home

What safeguards are in place at NSC since the COVID-19 Virus has invaded all corners of the planet?

Naperville Senior Center Adult Day Services Post Pandemic Safeguards meet or exceed the State of Illinois Department of Public Health and Center For Disease Control Mandated Guidelines. Safety of our Members, their families and our staff is our continuing priority.

There is a risk involved anytime your loved one leaves home. We are doing all we can to ensure the risk is minimal.

While business was suspended for 111 days, Pam, Michelle and Mike scrubbed the walls, baseboards, bathrooms, kitchen, rugs and floors. Then we patched and painted cracks and holes in the walls, replaced stained ceiling tiles and polished the floor.

  • We have purchased over $3,800 in sneeze guards, masks, hand sanitizer, signs and placards to ensure our policies are visible to Members, their families and our staff.
  • Visitors will only be seen by appointment.
  • We have a half dozen hand sanitizing stations throughout our community.

Check out our Adult Day Services Site Checklist for Re-Opening for plans, procedures, recommendations, guidelines, signs and photos of what we accomplished up to July 15, 2020.

Out of an abundance of caution we continue to review and improve these guidelines as we move forward.

The policy we follow when Members arrive includes Temperature Screenings of Members and washing hands immediately at the bathroom sink.

What kind of health care do you provide?
Along with our Registered Physical Therapist, Naperville Senior Center staff includes Registered Nurses with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree who oversees medication administration and monitors the participants’ health status on an ongoing basis. The nurse coordinates care with the family and other service providers and serves as a resource to family caregivers. Our Certified Nursing Assistants assist Members with activities of daily living such as toileting, incontinence care, ambulation, transferring, showering, etc…
Is the NSC staff trained in CPR?
Yes, all NSC professional staff are certified in CPR, and many have completed training in emergency first aid as well as the use of AED’s. Our facility is equipped with an AED which is registered with the Naperville Fire Department.
What types of activities are usually offered at adult day programs?
Naperville Senior Center provides fulfilling activities including exercise, education, health, nutrition, recreation, craft projects and community involvement opportunities. A complete list can be found on the “Activities” page on our website.
If I want to go to the center, do I need to commit to go every day?
People attending Naperville Senior Center may attend as frequently as they want. We have a minimum requirement of attending two days per week. NSC anticipates about half of our participants to attend all day, five days a week.
My father often naps, is that okay in the program?
Often times people need rest periods as they age. Naperville Senior Center services include a ‘quiet room’ with a couch and several Lazy Boy reclining chairs. (We have found our Members can fall asleep for a short nap in any chair they are currently using.)
Who will help my mother with personal issues, such as toileting?
Naperville Senior Center’s experienced staff will cue, and if needed, assist your mom with walking, transfers, clothing management and hygiene in the bathroom. It is important to communicate all of your loved one’s needs to the admissions person, including use of garment protection, so we are prepared to meet those needs at the Center.
Does the center provide support care for the caregiver?
Yes, many people bring their family member so that they can have time to attend to urgent business errands, pursue promotion opportunities at work, meet with friends, exercise, relax, or even read a book. Caregivers often need some time for themselves and other family members.

We also plan to provide a caregiver support group meeting on the first and third Fridays from 9:30 to 10:45 am in our Quiet Room.

Mike Cooper is a Certified Caregiving Consultant specializing in the Six Stages of Caregiving.

Is this just babysitting?
No, the activities are goal-oriented to encourage learning, participation and maximization of existing skills. Each individual is monitored to ensure that he or she is included and enjoying each activity. New participants soon begin to feel a sense of purpose and belonging and look forward to the next time they all meet.

Remember, our professional staff includes a Physical Therapist, Certified Nursing Assistants and Registered Nurses. Become a member now; when we have a waiting list, our rates are sure to increase.

Does the center have an emergency policy?
Naperville Senior Center requires families to sign a document that allows the center to call 911 in an emergency. Additional documents may be required. Our emergency policies include:

  • Fire
  • Earthquake
  • Severe weather emergencies
  • 911
  • AEDs, CPR and first aid training

We have an emergency procedure in place if our facility must be evacuated.

Does the center take drop-ins or someone who is in town visiting for a few days?
We recognize that sometimes there is a need for a short-term “drop in” visit in an emergency or for someone visiting from out of town. Medical records and assessments require time to secure, but if the intake packet is completed ahead of time, we will do our best to accommodate short-term-stay Members.
What is a typical day like at NSC?
See a sample daily schedule and menu and learn about the available activities.

We also have Members using public transport (Ride DuPage) as well as a private transporter (Golden Circle of Friends).
