Adult Day Care
Adult
day care offers a structured, comprehensive program for
adults with functional impairments for all or part of
the day. These impairments (difficulty dressing, feeding
oneself, using the bathroom) may be caused by physical
or cognitive problems.
Adult
day care programs offer a variety of health, social and
related support services in a protective setting.
Individuals attend adult day care on pre-arranged days
and for pre-arranged hours.
Adult
day care supports frail adults who choose to remain in
the community rather than move to a personal care home
or prematurely entering a nursing facility.
