Adult Day Care

An Adult Day Care Center is typically a non-residential facility that supports the health, nutritional, social, and daily living needs of adults in a professionally staffed, group setting. The majority of centers provide meals, meaningful activities, and general supervision. The care provided is often a social model (focusing on socialization and prevention services).

Adult Day Care centers primarily focus on providing care for people with a specific chronic condition, including Alzheimer’s Disease and related forms of dementia. Additionally, these services may be available for any adult with disabilities and also the elderly population. Numerous centers maintain a nurse on-site and devote a room for participants who require their vital signs to be checked and evaluated regularly; or need other health services the nurse can perform during their visit. Facilities may also provide transportation and personal care including support groups for caregivers.

Attending an Adult Day Care center can prevent people from needing to be re-hospitalized and may delay their admission to residential long-term care. For participants, who would otherwise stay at home alone, social stimulation and recreational activities have been known to improve or maintain physical and cognitive functions. The more severe the disease is, the greater the burden will be on the caregiver. Therefore, 19.1% of caregivers with clients made use of these services. Adult Day Care centers may be able to provide respite care, enabling caregivers to work or have a break from their caregiving responsibilities.

These facilities are beneficial to many, as the activities accommodate stimulating interaction with other people which has been known to improve the participant’s health and emotional well-being. All certified Adult Day Care centers are monitored and staffed for the protection of participants as well as being a helping hand for new people having trouble connecting with others or do not feel comfortable in certain environments. This program aims to build up confidence and ability to maintain an independent lifestyle along with improving physical and mental health.

Another important aspect of an Adult Day Care center includes the information about healthy diet plans and exercise regimes which is suitable for certain people. This can help improve health as well as keep some people from losing the ability to keep up a good stable lifestyle and sustain it. Especially for participants coming from rehabilitation or dementia wards, who may forget what they have or have not done on a particular day. This introduces participants to new activities and may spark a new interest or hobby that they may like to pursue and discover more about.
