Philosophy and Purpose:
Granville Medical Center
established The Harold Sherman
Adult Day Care Center in
response to the needs of
disabled adults and their care

remain in their homes as long as
possible, while providing their
caregivers with a much needed
and deserved break from
providing care. We are dedicated

independence, while valuing
human dignity and seeking to
enhance the quality of life for
all involved.
