Adult Day Care Right Here in New Bedford
ADULT DAY HEALTH - NEW BEDFORD, MAProject Independence, a community-based, non-profit organization, was founded in July 1982 by a group of individuals concerned with the health and well-being of the elderly and disabled who needed assistance and support in order to remain independent and live at home.
Why Adult Day Health?
Bridging the gap between independence & long term care
Day health allows your loved one a cost-effective means to remain in familiar surroundings while benefiting from the social and medical care they need. Working with both participants and their caregivers, Project Independence strives to enhance the participants’ quality of life. You will receive individual support in a safe and secure environment.
We are Medicaid certified and funded by other health insurances, handicap accessible and licensed to accommodate 55 participants daily.

Serving the greater New Bedford area, our staff is fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Creole, and are funded by Mass Health and other health insurances.
