South Richmond Adult Day Center

Volunteers are the heartbeat of our community. Whether you're lending a hand during daily activities, offering a friendly conversation, leading a craft session, or helping with special events, your time brings joy, comfort, and a sense of belonging to the older adults and individuals we serve. 

At South Richmond Adult Day Center, every smile, every story shared, and every helping hand creates meaningful impact. We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds who want to make a difference—no special skills required, just compassion and a willingness to connect. Join our team of dedicated volunteers and become part of a legacy built on love, dignity, and care. Your time is a powerful gift, and we’d be honored to share this journey with you.

Your gift helps provide meals, enrichment, and daily care for participants who depend on our services. Every donation, big or small, fuels compassion in action.

Our mission is to enhance the health and overall quality of life—emotionally, mentally, and physically—for older adults and adults with disabilities by providing a therapeutic, supportive, and enriching environment rooted in compassion and dignity. Through personalized care, social engagement, and daily wellness support, we create a space where every individual is valued and empowered to thrive. 

We are equally committed to supporting caregivers by offering peace of mind, community connection, and a trusted partnership in care. For nearly 50 years, we’ve proudly served families with a deep belief that aging should be met with joy, purpose, and belonging—for both our participants and their loved ones.

“AARP believes family caregivers like you aren't celebrated or supported nearly enough. Thanks to you, older parents, spouses and other loved ones can live independently in their homes and communities.”

This organization is a “Consumer-Directed Service Facilitation provider for Virginia Medicaid waivers” serving Virginians of all ages. They aim to serve those with disabilities or their caregivers about concerns such as the following:

• How will you pay for what you need?

“So many of us, whether we realize it or not, are caregivers. Approximately 40 million Americans provide unpaid care to older adults and adults with disabilities - the majority of whom also juggle a job or other responsibilities. Wearing all of these hats can take its toll. Let NCOA be there for you.”
