We empower older adults and people with disabilities to live with greater independence and dignity. Here, adults in our community benefit from health care services, respite and companionship. Elderday is part of the Community Bridges family of programs. (Para Español, desplácese hacia abajo y en el icono de Google seleccione “Spanish.” La información estara traducida a partir de allí.)
At Elderday, we provide high-quality day services for adults with complex medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, Parkinson’s, traumatic brain injuries, stroke, MS, developmental disabilities, dementia, and more.
But, our program is so much more than just health care.
Through our planned daily activities — like music, dance, Tai Chi, trivia, Bingo, Lotería and art — and themed celebrations we ensure Elderday is a fun, active and supportive community for everyone involved.
Our weekday hours make it possible for participants to stay independent and live in their own homes for as long as possible, while offering family members and caregivers much-needed respite. Our multidisciplinary, bi-lingual, bi-cultural team develops an Individual Plan of Care for each participant, with the primary goal of keeping our participants living in their own homes and out of institutional care for as long as possible.
To schedule a tour, or for further information, please contact us at 831-458-3481 between 10am and 2pm Monday through Friday. We welcome your visits, questions and comments.
Comprehensive Health Services
Our team of RNs, LVNs, Physical and Occupational Therapists, Registered Dieticians, and Social Workers monitor medical conditions, coordinate care with primary care physicians, and create personalized exercise programs. We also provide referrals and follow-up with other community services. Read about our privacy practices for protected health information.
Community Health Partnerships
We partner with other local community-based organizations providing health-related services to ensure our participants receive the best experience and care possible. One such partner is Dientes Community Dental, which provides monthly care to our participants, ensuring that they receive basic dental services from exams and cleanings to fluoride treatments.

Affordable Care Option
Elderday is free for those eligible for Medi-Cal. Costs can also be covered by the Veteran’s Administration, long-term care insurance, or private pay on a sliding scale.
New Location, New Opportunities
After 19 years on Pioneer Street in Santa Cruz, we moved to 501 Main Street in downtown Watsonville. Our new home is 3,600 square feet larger and adjacent to the Community Bridges headquarters, bringing our participants closer to other Community Bridges services and allowing us to extend our reach into North Monterey County.
Enhanced Care Management
Our staff works with Community Bridges’ Enhanced Care Management team to offer support to local Medi-Cal recipients of all ages with complex medical and social needs through a dedicated bilingual, bicultural care manager, helping them improve their health, well-being, and overall quality of life.

Titled “Wisdom of Our Elders,” this vibrant 225-foot-by-32-foot mural at 501 Main Street in downtown Watsonville represents a collaboration between Community Bridges, Elderday Adult Day Health Care, and local Chicano muralists, The Jams, aiming to underscore the profound significance of our older adults within our community. Through compelling imagery, we seek to illuminate their indispensable role in our daily lives, while also emphasizing our shared commitment to providing them with the care, support, and dignity they rightfully deserve.
Last year, Community Bridges embarked on an ambitious journey to create a mural that would capture the essence of aging, the depth of knowledge accumulated over a lifetime, the importance of history, and the strength of our community. Through a rigorous selection process, The Jams were identified as the artists who could elevate this project and truly capture these themes. This collaboration was deeply rooted in community engagement. Input sessions with local residents, Elderday staff and participants, Community Bridges staff, and older adults from the Watsonville Senior Center ensured that the mural would reflect the diverse and vibrant voices of our community.
