Broekcare Center, a recently established social adult day care facility, was founded with a deep sense of compassion
and understanding stemming from personal experiences of love and loss.
Our center specializes in providing individualized care through person-centered planning. Person-centered planning emphasizes the importance of fostering supportive relationships and creating an environment free from judgment, cynicism, and fear.
At Broekcare Center, we strive to cultivate a social atmosphere of exploration and possibility, empowering each participant to actively shape their journey of discovery. We believe that every individual has the potential to contribute to their care and well-being.
Through collaborative efforts with our participants and their families, we seek innovative ways to provide support tailored to their unique needs and preferences.
We warmly welcome participants eligible for Managed Long-term Care as well as private participants. For more details regarding eligibility criteria, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 929-969-4256.
