Provided in the recognition that change and growth continue through the life cycle, and with the awareness that the older person may have particular needs. Counseling can be provided for the older person experiencing difficulty or for family members and caregivers concerned about the well being of an older person.
At The Ecumenical Center, we view healing as the integration of mind, body and spirit. That’s why we want every aspect of care provided to be clinically competent, and – where desired – theologically informed and spiritually sensitive. Nowhere is this more apparent than in our counseling services.
Our counseling staff and qualifications:
All of us working in this field are state-licensed counselors, graduate and doctorate level therapists, psychologists, registered play therapists, LPCs, LPSWs and LPC-S working under supervision. In addition, all those who deal with faith-based counseling clients are certified by the American Association of Pastoral Counselors.
Please call or click here to schedule an appointment.
We are committed to providing the best service possible for as many people as possible. In keeping with our mission, fee adjustments are available based on personal financial need and available funding.

We understand that not one care plan fits all. Daily services can include anything from meal preparation, hygiene, cleaning, and supervision. We will take the time to get to know you and develop an individualized care plan that fits your specific needs.
Seniors 2000 adult daycare program is designed to meet the needs of adults with functional impairments through individual plans of care by providing health, social, and related support services in a safe environment. This may include light exercises, individual floor dances, a pool table, table games, bingo, arts and crafts, and occasional "Zumba." Our centers have an open space setting for wheelchair-bound individuals to move around. We provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for our clients to spend the day.
Services include:
- Transportation. We arrange for our clients to have safe transportation to and from their homes daily, making adult care services convenient. We hold Field Trips once in a while, enjoy visiting local libraries, local shops, and parks with our staff members accompanying a small group of clients. We keep our daily activities fresh every day. Boredom is a thing of the past.

- Healthy Meals. Our centers serve breakfast, lunch, and a mid-afternoon snack prepared in our own central kitchen. A registered dietitian designs our menus, ensuring that all dietary needs are met.
This program is for adults (18+) with intellectual and development disabilities (IDD).
We contract with Amerigroup Health Care, Molina Health Care, Superior Health Plan, AACOG, UnitedStates Veterans ( VA ).
