“It takes a village,” is a popular phrase used to refer to the community cooperation needed to successfully raise a child. The phrase can also apply to caring for members of the elderly population, specifically those who struggle with physical or mental challenges.

Families of seniors often take in their struggling loved ones to help them avoid long-term care facilities only to find that they themselves are struggling with the daily responsibilities. Daycation Senior Center offers fun, supervised daycare aimed at enriching seniors’ lives through socialization, physical and intellectual stimulation, and emotional support, all while allowing quality respite time for their caregivers.

“We saw a great need to not only provide a quality program for seniors but one that helps caregivers maintain their daily lives whether that includes work, running errands, or simply getting time away to rejuvenate,” said Yvonne Mitchell, who owns and operates Daycation with Paul Kelly.

Daycation is licensed by the Department of Social Services, with trained and background checked staff. The center is located at 6011 Stanford Ranch Road and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. with management working to add two Saturdays a month to the schedule. In depth descriptions of their services and rates for care are listed on their website.
