Adult day program
The Franklin County Adult Day Care/Health Program is located in the Louisburg Senior Center. The hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Monday-Friday.
The purpose of the day program is to maintain individuals in their home and community as long as possible. The day program provides an alternative to placement in a long-term care facility by providing quality care to adults that are mentally or physically impaired. The program allows caregivers the opportunity to continue employment, take care of personal business and enjoy a much needed break from providing care on a daily basis.
