Programs and Services

Medical Adult Day Care

United Cerebral Palsy of Central Maryland (UCP-CM) provides services to more than 160 individuals annually through its Medical Adult Day Care (MADC) programs located throughout its five Personal Development Centers across the state in Arbutus, Essex, Frederick, Hagerstown, and Cumberland. Each building has been modified to UCP-CM’s specifications to ensure handicapped accessibility and to provide the appropriate space needed to meet the needs of the individuals served. The MADC programs are open Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 4:30pm.

The Medical Adult Day Care program offers adults with significant or chronic health issues a place to go during the day where they can be involved in meaningful individual and group activities. On site medical monitoring by registered nurses ensures that even individuals with significant and chronic health issues have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities and interact with their peers, while receiving the nursing supports needed to maintain optimal health. Recreational activities such as making crafts, listening to music, viewing movies, taking trips to local attractions, and events are also incorporated into each MADC schedule.

Access to ancillary services is also available to individuals enrolled in UCP-CM’s MADC program upon referral including individual, group and family counseling, nutritional evaluations, assistive technology and augmentative communication evaluations, and physical, occupational and speech therapy. Para-Transit (wheelchair lift equipped) transportation is provided by UCP-CM to and from each of its Medical Adult Day Care programs.

Each Medical Adult Day Care program is inspected and licensed by Maryland’s Office of Health Care Quality (OHCQ). Additional announced and unannounced inspections are conducted by representatives from the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) and Maryland’s Delmarva Foundation for Medical Care.
