Our Mission

LIVE OAK ADULT DAY SERVICES is a nonprofit, community-based, non-discriminatory agency located in Santa Clara County. Live Oak’s mission is twofold: to provide a quality structured day program designed to enhance the lives of frail seniors and to provide respite for their caregivers.

Our goal is to provide socialization and cognitive stimulation to our seniors and to support our family caregivers in their efforts to maintain their senior dependent loved one in the family home.

Our dedicated staff is here to provide compassionate, dignified care, and to promote self-efficacy (an “I can do this” attitude).

Who We Serve

Clients

  • Our clients are typically 60 years and older with some exceptions. They live in Santa Clara County.
  • They are unable to live independently, and may have cognitive and/or physical impairments including dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, depression, history of stroke, and other age-related illnesses.
  • They are, however, able to participate in our activities, can feed themselves, are continent and able to use the bathroom with minor assistance. If in a wheelchair, they can bear weight.

Caregivers

  • Live Oak Adult Day Care offers caregivers support and relief so that the caregiver can go to work, finish errands and other daily tasks while knowing that their loved one is well tended in a caring environment.
  • Taking short term breaks can relieve stress, restore energy, and promote balance in a caregiver’s life.
  • In addition, Live Oak Adult Day Care offers support groups, classes and other resources to help caregivers in their daily lives.

For a few hours a week, seniors went to one of four facilities in Santa Clara County for games, meals, music, art therapy, gentle exercise and conversation. The thriving nonprofit served about 125 clients, including a former nuclear physicist, dentist, church organist, an Air Force pilot and many veterans and immigrants who fled Europe after World War II…..

What We Offer Clients

Our Program is designed to meet the needs of seniors who are unable to live independently, who need support in their daily activities, and who are unable to participate in programs for independent seniors. We offer a day program from 9 to 3 each weekday, a continental breakfast, lunch, and a snack, along with daily exercise, a client to staff ratio of 5 to 1, music and art, socialization, and current events and cognitive games. We charge a daily fee on a sliding scale which is determined from the client’s and family’s monthly income. We also broadcast a virtual program from 10am to noon each day for a small fee. We don’t discriminate.
