Adult day services include adult day social programs, Alzheimer's day care, and adult day health care. All three options are daytime programs designed for seniors with health and/or social needs. Adult day services provide a safe, loving atmosphere for seniors who need basic supervision and social stimulation.

Programs at an adult day services facility are designed specifically to meet the needs of each individual. These types of programs, however, are normally private pay situations, but some do offer scholarships based on need. Adult day services can provide assistance to seniors who are physically, mentally, or functionally impaired, require some level of care or companionship, need supervision, or benefit from stimulating activities.

Adult day care is ideal for seniors who are unable to be monitored during the day by a primary caregiver or simply need daily interaction with a licensed facility director who can work one-on-one with your loved one. In addition to activity time, some adult day care facilities offer meal plans and transportation.
