I'm sure there has to be several Adult Daycare Centers in the Memphis area. Have you "Googled" it to find out exactly where they are? You can also call your local Senior Services or Area Agency on Aging and they can direct you as well.

While the Forum is in fact sponsored and actually owned by A Place For Mom, other than the ads you can access on the site for it and for other entities, there is no help here for your finding care facilities in your area. Daycare is even more rare to find and more difficult, but your MD office may be a place to start in terms of looking for daycare only.
So basically it is on your to type into google your needs, and to explore what pops up.
As well as day care this applies for "Daily Care" when and if that time comes.
It's on you to find access to the internet in your area for places to explore with your family.
We are only a group of caregivers, past and present, who are here to answer support questions regarding caregiving.

I hope you will find good daycare in your area. It can be rare, dependent on where you live. Rural areas often have none at all.

Speaking of A Place for Mom and others who do this work of helping in permanent placement, they vary widely. My brother, when looking for a place for his ex-partner, suffering from encephalopathy due to alcoholism, used a group he heard about by visiting a local senior center, who actually physically came to his home, took information about needs, about assets, and then drove the two fellows about looking into facilities in their area that seemed a "good fit".
They chose a wonderful place that my brother himself went into in time. Today places vary, whether they take you personally, or take your information and have the entities themselves visit you, much depends, as you can imagine, upon assets. Private pay patients for ALF and MC are prized. Medicaid is not, and you will find few who will work with you where medicaid is involved; you will be more "on your own".

Sometimes Board and Care (getting, sadly, rare as hen's teeth) are a better fit than a nursing home or memory care. More homelike, fewer clients, often family run with a family feel about them.

For now I hope you find daycare. It can be such a help. Remember some facilities do Respite care. So, start online, visit senior centers, visit the places themselves by appointment, call places that give care inhome if you need a break yourself. It can be an enormous task to find ANY care, whether day care, in home help, or permanent placement. I wish you the very best of luck.
As with all of us answering here on forum, it is "learn-as-you-go" and you will be able to participate and share all you learn on your journey here if you wish. I hope you will. And hope you will update us on what worked best for you finding the care you need.

AlvaDeer, I think you missed the fact that the OP is only looking for an Adult Daycare Center and not care facilities like AL, MC or Board and Care.
