  1. $1.6 million spent. FROM JULY 1, 2024 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2025, GREENWICH ADULT DAY CARE (DOING BUSINESS AS RIVER HOUSE ADULT DAY CENTER) PROVIDED THE FOLLOWING SERVICES ON CLIENT DAYS.RIVER HOUSE'S HEALTH PROGRAM ADDRESSES THE IMPACT OF AGING ON FAMILIES IN THE GREENWICH AND STAMFORD COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE, SUPPORTIVE SERVICES IN A COMPASSIONATE, SAFE, AND ENGAGING SETTING. AGING ADULTS ARE ADMITTED TO RIVER HOUSE BECAUSE THEY ARE STRUGGLING WITH SOCIAL ISOLATION, DEPRESSION, PHYSICAL IMPAIRMENTS, COGNITIVE CONFUSION, AND STRUGGLE WITH THE ABILITY TO MANAGE ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING SUCH AS PERSONAL HYGIENE, BATHING, DRESSING, TRANSFERRING, AMBULATION, TOILETING AND EATING. THE RIVER HOUSE HEALTH PROGRAM ADDRESSES THESE CHALLENGES AND MORE. HEALTH EVENTS CAN BE EVEN HARDER TO DIAGNOSE AND TREAT WITH AN AGINGADULT AS MANY ILLNESSES CAN PRESENT THEMSELVES AS CHANGES IN TEMPERAMENT AND BEHAVIOR INSTEAD OF MORE OBVIOUS PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS. CLIENTS WITH ALZHEIMER'S, DEMENTIA, PARKINSON'S, AND OTHER AILMENTS THAT AFFECT COGNITIVE AWARENESS ARE LESS ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE OR EVEN IDENTIFY PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS. PAIN OR DISCOMFORT MIGHT BE REFLECTED AS A CHANGE IN THEIR DISPOSITION OR MOOD. AT RIVER HOUSE, OUR PROFESSIONAL TEAM MONITORS THE MOOD AND BEHAVIOR OF EACH CLIENT AND IS TRAINED TO RECOGNIZE SLIGHT CHANGES THAT OTHERWISE MAY BE IGNORED OR MISUNDERSTOOD. AT THE FIRST SIGN OF A CHANGE, OUR PROFESSIONAL TEAM JUMPS INTO ACTION, NOTIFY INGTHE FAMILY, CAREGIVERS, AND PHYSICIAN SO THAT A RECOMMENDATION FOR FURTHER FOLLOW-UP CAN BEADVISED. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE COST FOR A SINGLE EMERGENCY ROOM VISIT IS UPWARDS OF $1,500, NOTINCLUDING TESTING TYPICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH CONDITIONS SUCH AS A URINARY TRACT INFECTION, A COMMON AILMENT AMONG SENIORS. THE FEE FOR AN EMERGENCY ROOM VISIT MULTIPLIES DRAMATICALLY WHENPATIENTS HAVE COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENTS (SUCH AS ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE), BECAUSE IT IS MORE DIFFICULTFOR PATIENTS TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES.
