WHAT IS ADHC / CBAS?

What is adult day health care?

Adult Day Health Care (ADHC), known in California as Community-Based Adult Services (CBAS), is a daytime program that provides therapeutic, medical and social services to older adults and to adults with chronic medical, cognitive or mental health conditions or disabilities.

At Health Guard, participants spend the day with our nurses, therapists, social workers and caregivers, then go home in the afternoon. Our goal is to help each person stay as healthy and independent as possible, delay or prevent a move to a nursing home or other more expensive care setting, and give family caregivers real support.

We have served seniors and families in North Hollywood and Los Angeles since 1999, from our center at 5648 Vineland Avenue (California license 060000657).
