F.A.Q.s
What is adult day care?
Adult day care is a type of program that provides care and social activities to seniors and adults with disabilities who require some level of supervision during the day, but do not need 24-hour care. These programs are typically offered in a community-based setting, such as a senior center, community center, or church, and can be run by government agencies, non-profit organizations, or for-profit businesses.
The goal of adult day care is to provide a safe and engaging environment for participants, while also giving caregivers a break from their caregiving responsibilities. Services offered by adult day care programs can vary, but they often include meals, social activities, exercise programs, and health monitoring. Some programs also offer specialized services for individuals with specific needs, such as those with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
Adult day care can be a valuable resource for both participants and their caregivers. Participants can benefit from socialization, mental stimulation, and physical activity, while caregivers can have peace of mind knowing that their loved one is in a safe and supportive environment. Additionally, adult day care can help delay or prevent institutionalization, as individuals can continue to live at home while still receiving the care and support they need during the day.
How does adult day care help caregivers?
Provides respite: Adult day care provides caregivers with a break from their caregiving responsibilities, giving them time to attend to other responsibilities, such as work or running errands, or simply taking time for self-care.
Reduces stress: Caregiving can be a stressful and demanding job, and adult day care can provide a safe and supportive environment for seniors and adults with disabilities, which can help to reduce the stress and anxiety that caregivers may experience.
Improves socialization: Adult day care programs provide seniors and adults with disabilities with an opportunity to socialize with others and participate in social activities. This can help to reduce isolation and loneliness, which can be a common experience for seniors and adults with disabilities.
Promotes mental and physical health: Adult day care programs often provide a range of activities and programs that promote mental and physical health, such as exercise classes, music therapy, and art therapy. This can help to improve the overall well-being of seniors and adults with disabilities, which can in turn reduce the burden on caregivers.
Enhances overall quality of life: Adult day care programs can provide seniors and adults with disabilities with a sense of purpose and meaning, which can enhance their overall quality of life. This can also help to improve the relationship between the caregiver and the person they are caring for, as the caregiver may experience less stress and burnout.
What is the cost and will insurance cover it?
Adult day services can be paid by Medicaid, some long-term care insurances, private pay, and VA benefits. Check with your benefits provider to see if adult day is covered. The cost for private pay is $18 per hour. We bill in 15 minute increments with no minimum. Funds are available through a grant to pay for services, if needed.
