There is no place like home-that's why Diakon Adult Day Services at Manatawny—located at Manatawny Manor, Pottstown, Pa.—exists. In many situations, the program allows older persons
or those with disabilities to live at home or with family members
during the evenings and weekends. Providing caregivers with a respite
during the weekdays, the program offers a comfortable and stimulating
setting in which participants enjoy a myriad of services and amenities.
Participants are supervised in a secure setting by a registered nurse/program
director and program assistants. Together they encourage participants'
maximum level of participation-preventing social isolation or premature
placement in a care facility.
