Messiah Lifeways Adult Day program offers an enriching, uplifting experience outside of the home for loved ones who are unable to safely stay alone during the day. Messiah Lifeways offers Adult Day services in Mechanicsburg and Carlisle. Senior day programs such as Messiah's Adult Day is a great alternative and offers balance for caregivers who want their loved ones staying home with them, yet still work or have other responsibilities during the day.

Both locations are open Monday through Friday from 7:15 am – 5:00 pm
(except on holidays). To learn more or schedule a tour of campus, please contact us.
