Wentworth Connections Adult Day Program Receives State’s Stamp of Approval

PORTSMOUTH—

Wentworth Connections Adult Day Care Program, operated by the Mark Wentworth Home, recently received a deficiency-free stamp of approval during the State of New Hampshire’s survey of care services at the center. The NH Department of Health and Human Services conducts the regulatory review annually; and for day programs for seniors like the Wentworth Connections program, receiving a deficiency-free rating is one of the highest confirmations of quality service available. State and Federal regulations for Senior Adult Day Programs require a thorough survey on a range of core criteria such as safety, patient rights, food service, administration and quality of care services.

The results of the 2012 survey results confirm that the Wentworth Connections Adult Day Program demonstrates a high level of client-centered care for its more than 20 daily clients. The program accommodates clients with physical and cognitive impairments between the hours of 8am and 4:30pm on weekdays. Services offered include meals, assistance with toileting, bathing and grooming, nursing services and medication oversight, music therapy, support group services for client’s families and a myriad of activities covering social, cultural and physical well-being. The program is currently accepting applications for participation, which can be arranged for a flexible number of days each week.
