What is adult day care?

Adult care provides activities in a supervised environment for older adults with dementia, stroke, depression or loneliness. Centers provide a variety of activities in a secure environment, including art, music and exercise. Snacks or meals are usually served. Programs are designed to benefit both participant and caregiver, providing stimulation for participant and much-needed break for the caregiver.

Adult day care is tax deductible.

There are three types of adult day care centers.

Social Day Care Centers are primarily recreational. These centers provide supervised setting for group activities. Social Day Care Centers may accept persons with dementia, but may not accept someone who wanders, is incontinent or aggressive. Social Day Care Centers which specialize in programs for people with Alzheimer’s Disease or a related dementia are usually equipped to handle wanderers, incontinence and aggressive behavior. Families pay privately for this type of day care program; Social Day Care Centers are not covered by Medicare or Medi-Cal.

Adult Day Health Care Centers (ADHC) specialize in providing medical, rehabilitation and social services for adults age 18 and up, who are physically or mentally impaired. ADHC services are provided by nurses; physical, speech and occupational therapists; social workers and other medical personnel. The Medi- Cal program will cover these services for low income persons. Some persons with dementia may be eligible for this program if there are physical impairments.

Adult Day Treatment Centers specialize in treatment of persons with psychological problems and may accept persons with dementia. Centers provide social and recreational programs, as well as medication management for problem behaviors. Various types of counseling. Some Medicare/Medi-Cal reimbursement (time-limited basis)
