Adult Day Care consists of daytime care of any part of day (less than twenty-four hours of care) for functionally impaired elderly persons. It is provided through a structured program of social and rehabilitative and/or maintenance services in a supportive group setting other than the client’s home. Program participants must require regular supervision in order to live in their own home or the home of a relative. They must require a substitute caregiver while their regular caregiver is at work, in need of respite, or otherwise unavailable. In addition, they must have difficulty or be unable to perform without assistance activities of daily living
(ADL). They must be capable of leaving their residence, with assistance in order to receive the service. Each Adult Day Care program shall provide directly or make arrangement for the following: case coordination and support, transportation, personal care, nutrition, and recreation. The program at their option may also provide directly or make arrangements for the following: rehabilitative care, medical support, nursing services, dental services, pediatric care, opthalmological care, health counseling and escorted shopping assistance. ADL includes personal hygiene and grooming, meal preparation and kitchen safety, homemaking and leisure pursuits.
