...time to enjoy, create,
and be cared for in a safe
and loving environment...
we're here providing
'Freedom of Life'

If you are responsible for the care of an older person, you are probably familiar with the demands care giving can make on you and your family. It may be a source of worry, even guilt when you must leave a loved one alone. Where do you turn when you feel anxiety and stress from your responsibilities and who do you turn to for help?

At the Truslow Adult Day Center, we understand and want to help.

At the Truslow Center, you will feel confident that an older family member is receiving the kind of care, recreation and nutrition they need to stay healthy, connected and happy.

Offering real benefits...

grandparents At the Truslow Center we pay individualized attention to specialized needs, and we emphasize what each participant can do, not what they can't do. We provide many opportunities to make new friends, both young and old, and build meaningful relationships. The Truslow Center not only provides emotional support to participants but to caregivers as well. Through involvement with local daycares, kindergarten classes and business's, participants continue to play an active role with the community.

What about Cost?

The Truslow Center offers accessible, low cost services, some of which are covered by private insurances. Our staff is also available to assist families who can't afford the fees to gain access to other means of payment.

What our supporters have to say...

"Knowing that my mother is receiving high quality care in a safe environment is a great comfort to me."
R.M., Biddeford Pool
"It is nice to be able to depend upon the Truslow staff to assist with problem solving. Being primary caregiver with a full time job is a huge responsibility and knowing they are there for me is a great piece of mind."
A.L., Kennebunkport
