About Cooperative Elder Services Inc.
At Cooperative Elder Services, Inc. (CESI) we take a holistic approach to supporting the health of seniors and adults with medical or cognitive challenges. At each of our adult day health centers, CESI staff works toward a common goal: to empower participants to age-in-place by serving their health and socialization needs and providing support for families.
Founded in 1978, CESI currently operates private, nonprofit adult day health programs in several Massachusetts communities. We serve hundreds of caregivers and seniors and adults with medical or cognitive challenges, who reside in more than 50 cities and towns in the greater Boston area. CESI participants make 42,000 daily visits to CESI’s centers each year.
CESI provides participants with an environment that supports their whole health; one in which they can:
- Socialize with peers,
- Participate in meaningful activities,
- Exercise their minds and bodies,
- Learn to manage their chronic diseases, and
- Maintain compliance with physicians’ orders.
CESI programming furthermore provides participants’ family caregivers with the services and support they need to provide for their families’ physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing.
CESI’s adult day health centers are staffed by licensed nurses, geriatric care and Alzheimer’s specialists, service coordinators, and program aides, with regular consultation by an Occupational Therapist and Registered Dietician.
