Adult Care Center of Roanoke Valley (ACCRV) is an excellent alternative for dependent adults who are unable to stay at home alone or need socialization and motivation during the day. Work schedules and other family responsibilities often make it impossible for caregivers to stay at home and provide necessary care. Our program can delay the transition to a long term care facility for individuals who may have disabilities that require professional care and supervision. Caregivers who work are allowed the opportunity to fulfill their responsibilities to their employers and not worry about leaving their family member at home unattended.
Caregivers who are not employed outside of the home are provided needed respite from the rigors of providing 24 hour per day care. The participants who attend the center vary in age, physical, mental and social needs. Services are provided to adults, 21 years of age or over, with most of our participants at age 65 or over. Activities are adapted to meet individual needs and abilities.
ACCRV is located at 2321 Roanoke Boulevard in Salem, Virginia.
The Center's hours are, Monday thru Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Need...
In 1983, a group of Kiwanis Club members LOA members and the Salvation Army recognized a need for elder care that allowed the family unit to be preserved. The result of their efforts was creation of the first adult medical daycare facility in the State of Virginia.
The Solution...
An adult care center that would allow the families to leave their loved one in a safe, comfortable and nurturing environment during the day. In the evening, they could both return home. The family could remain together, at home, just as they would like it to be.
The first Adult Care Center of Roanoke Valley was established in a Salvation Army Building. Later the agency moved to a church location on Williamson Roa, and then to space made available by the Veterans Administration hospital in Salem.
ACCRV has now been in operation for 40 years in the Roanoke region. On the second Tuesday of the month beginning at 1:30 p.m., we provide a monthly caregiver support group at ACCRV in collaboration with The Alzheimer's Association. In addition, the Center is licensed by the Virginia Deptartment of Social Services and maintains contracts with the Veterans Administration, LOA and Medicaid.

It offers an opportunity for your loved one to participate in programs that are rewarding, motivating and educational.
