Kit Clark’s adult day health programs are leaving Fields Corner for Codman Square

Kit Clark Senior Services is in the process of moving their adult day health programs from Fields Corner to Codman Square. The senior center in Fields Corner will remain open and no reductions in available services are planned, according to a spokesman from Bay Cove Human Services, which manages the programming.

“We are consolidating our Adult Day Health (ADH) programs, which provide health and social supports in a group setting for older adults who require nursing care and/or monitoring,” said David Hirschberg, vice president of development for Bay Cove, in an email. “We have started the process of moving the ADH programs at Fields Corner and expect to be completed by mid-September.”

Hirschberg said they will “be able to serve the same number of people we currently serve.”

Participants in the senior programs are ferried from their homes to their chosen ADH program by a Kit Clark’s Codman Square-based transportation service. Fields Corner and Codman Square are about a mile from each other, so transport time should not be “significantly” impacted, Hirschberg said.

“The purpose of the move is to optimize the use of the program space we have available to us, which will enable us to manage the programs more efficiently,” he said. “In addition, the ADH program spaces at Kit Clark’s Codman Square location were specifically designed to be used for Adult Day Health programs, so the layout is more conducive to this type of program.”
