New AltaMed Cypress Adult Day Health Care Center to Provide Vital Resources
for Growing Senior Population
Orange County Latino and Asian Senior Populations Show Dramatic and Continuous
Growth Furthering the Need for Specialized Services in the Area






    What:     AltaMed Health Services Corporation, elected officials and
              community leaders will celebrate the grand opening of its Adult
              Day Health Care (ADHC) center in Cypress.  The center is
              designed to provide adults 18 years and older support to
              maintain or enhance their medical, functional or mental status
              through health and human services.  The services offered at the
              center include nursing care, individual counseling, nutritional
              meals, physical, occupational and speech therapies,
              recreational activities, transportation to and from the center,
              emotional support for caregivers, health education classes and
              community resources. AltaMed's ADHC facilities provide quality
              care that enables adults to reach their maximum potential of
              independence and provide family caregivers with the support
              they need to ensure their loved ones make the most of their
              golden years.

              The expansion of AltaMed into Orange County speaks to the
              growing need for community resources, services and benefits of
              ADHC centers in the population.  During 2000 to 2009 in Orange
              County, the Latino senior population grew by 79% while the
              Asian senior population grew by 60%.  Both populations are
              expected to grow an additional 31% and 30% respectively by
              2014. A report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation reveals
              that the country would require 5,415 new ADHC centers to
              address the demands of an aging population.
