Adult Day Healthcare (The Center For The Physicall
The Center for Individuals with Physical Challenges, often referred to simply as "The Center," was established in 1957 by The National Council of Jewish Women in Tulsa. Its mission is to provide opportunities for youth and adults with physical disabilities to enhance the quality of their lives. Initially housed in the basement of Hillcrest Hospital, The Center became a private, nonsectarian, nonprofit organization by 1959 with the formation of a Board of Directors. The first dedicated Center facility was built in 1967, and it moved into its current 75,000 square-foot facility at 815 South Utica Avenue in 2005. In 2019, the Hardesty Family Adaptive Sports Complex was added, expanding the existing main building. The Center offers a wide array of adaptive and accessible programs and services for individuals with primary physical challenges, including mobility, dexterity, or sensory impairments. These services encompass rehabilitative fitness, adaptive recreation, adaptive sports, deaf and hard of hearing services, transition services, and youth programming. They aim to foster physical, mental, and cognitive wellness, ensuring members feel respected, welcomed, supported, and valued. The facility includes a state-of-the-art adaptive fitness center, two gyms, a therapeutic pool, a rock-climbing wall, adaptive yoga studio, horticulture classroom and garden, art and craft studios, a computer lab, and an indoor track. Serving Tulsa and the surrounding region, The Center is unique as the only facility of its kind in eastern Oklahoma dedicated to providing such a comprehensive range of rehabilitative and recreational activities. It caters to a diverse group of individuals facing challenges such as cerebral palsy, hearing loss, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease, seizure disorders, spina bifida, spinal cord injury, stroke complications, traumatic brain injury, and vision loss. Beyond its core programs, The Center also offers group training on topics like Medicaid enrollment through its Deaf Services Department and provides support to caregivers by offering respite through its adult day care programs.
