17．David Brown and Anne are two patients in the Adult Day Care program at Merey Hospital．David Brown is seventy-two years old．He's friendly and likes to talk．He lives with his wife in the city．But David is becoming forgetful．His wife says，"He'll heat up some soup，then forget to turn off the gas．"She is sixty-one and still works．She is worried about leaving her husband alone by himself．
Anne is eighty and lives with her daughter，who is sixty．Her daughter says that she needs a rest，"Mom follows me everywhere．She follows me from room to room when I am cleaning．She sits down next to me when I am reading the newspaper．I need a rest and she does，too．"
And so，several times a week，David's and Anne's families take them to the Adult Day Care Centre．Many hospitals have this program．Patients come to the centre for a full or half day，from one to five days a week．All the patients live with their families and most are old people．
In the centre，patients learn many things，such as dancing and painting．Many patients like to cook their meals every day．Several men and women enjoy playing games．All the patients enjoy talking，singing and being with one another．
Mrs Carol Johnson is the director of the Centre．She says，"We are offering both the patients and their families a service of great value．Patients have the chance to get out of their houses．Husbands，wives or grown children can work or have a rest．Most important of all，families are able to stay together．"
