Mission Center Adult Day Services

General information

The entire purpose of Mission Center is to support clients and caregivers in their decision to age-in-place by remaining in their homes and receiving the care they need from outside resources. Mission provides preventative care by treating the whole person. Clients receive medical care, nutritional stability, education about disease management. They have a secure setting where they can form relationships with other individuals who have like disorders. They are provided with the opportunity to thrive no matter their capacity or capabilities. We are the only program of this type in the Permian Basin. The program is also for those caregivers who need respite from the endless care required to meet the needs of their loved ones. Research shows that out of caregivers who do not utilize outside assistance 50% will have a decline in health rendering them unable to take care of themselves of their loved ones. Our program serves a dual purpose, to serve not only the clients but their caregivers, too. In 1986, Pal Adult Day Care was established on Powell Street in Midland, TX. John and Freddie Utsman soon assumed leadership of the program and subsequently changed the name to Mission Adult Day Care. In 1990, the organization became incorporated and acquired state licensure and Medicaid approval under the name of Mission Health Care, Inc. In 2011, Mission Center signed a provider agreement with the Veteran's Administration to provide services to local veterans. In September 2014, Mission Center relocated to the new Midland Shared Spaces building.
