Adult Day Care
Adult day care is a service that provides supervised daytime care for adults who cannot stay alone during the day but do not require 24-hour care in a residential facility. These services are typically offered in a community-based setting such as a center, church, or community center.
Adult day care centers offer a safe, social, and stimulating environment where adults can participate in various activities, interact with other individuals, receive medical or therapeutic services, and receive assistance with activities of daily living. These activities may include social and recreational activities, exercise programs, arts and crafts, educational classes, and group outings.
Adult day care centers also provide a break for caregivers responsible for caring for their loved ones and allowing caregivers time for work, personal needs, or rest while ensuring they are well-cared for and engaged in meaningful activities during the day.
Training staff, including nurses, social workers, and other healthcare professionals, typically provide adult day care services. The cost of adult day care services can vary based on the services offered, location, and payment options available. Adult day care services may be covered by Medicaid or private insurance or paid for out-of-pocket by the individual or their family.
