Fun. Friendly. Safe. Medically monitored.

When medical problems prevent your loved one from staying home alone during the day, consider the advantages of The Ruby Pardue Blackburn Adult Day Health Care Center. Participants get to do all the things they love while making new friends. The center was made possible through a major capital campaign conducted by The Health Foundation. It is conveniently located at West Park, in the rear of the old Sky City building.


For more information, contact the center at 336 667 2541 or visit their website at www.wilkesadultdaycare.org.

They even offer FREE trial visits!
