Some Common Questions and Misconceptions about Adult Day Care

What is Adult Day Care?

Adult Day Care was originally designed in the mid 1970’s as an intermediate step for seniors between independent living and a nursing home. Since then it has diversified as an industry and includes a variety of programs to suit many types of individuals. While some cater to only specific groups of people based on age, diagnosis or religion, we believe diversity in our population enriches the program.

What are some misconceptions about Adult Day Care?

Adult Day Care is not “babysitting” or childish or just a place where you watch movies and play bingo all day. If designed correctly it is a place where you can meet new friends, engage in intelligent conversation, keep active through exercise, learn new things, take trips into the community, and maintain your independence.

What is there to do at an Adult Day Care?
