Description of Organization and Service Provided
Pathways Adult Day Health Center provides cognitively and physically stimulating programming, assistance with personal cares, and nursing services for adults with physical and/or psychological challenges.  Our program provides opportunities for socialization for the participant as well as providing respite for caregivers.

The Caregiver Support Group is co-facilitated by Iowa City Hospice and Pathways Adult Day Health Center.  The support group offers emotional and educational support in a nonjudgmental atmosphere.  It is for anyone caring for a loved one at home or elsewhere.
