Kathy greeted the group at Oak Hills Living Center, which is where Adult Day Services rents space in New Ulm. They also rent space at the Senior Living Campus in Sleepy Eye. The Adult Day Services program offers social, recreational, and supportive services to people, mostly seniors, who live at home with a caregiver.
