Can you stay overnight at Greater Philadelphia Asian Social Serv?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Philadelphia.
Is Greater Philadelphia Asian Social Serv an option for someone over 65?
They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Philadelphia that often means one room rather than two.
What happens to the medication I already take?
A program will want the full list on day one, including anything over the counter. Pill organizers are often refused at the door, because medication has to arrive labeled. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.
Is there a waiting list?
It varies from same day to a month, and the only way to know is to ask on the day you are ready. Centers often keep a cancellation list, and it moves faster than the main one. Ask to be told if an earlier place opens, then check back rather than waiting to be called.
