Adult Day Care · ADHC
It is not a nursing home. It is a day center.
Your mom or your dad is picked up in the morning and brought back in the afternoon. They spend the day with company, meals and activities. They do not move out. They do not leave their home.
What it is
An adult day center is a place the person attends during the day and returns home from. They do not live there. It is day time care and companionship.
Transportation is included: the center picks the person up at home in the morning and takes them back in the afternoon. You do not have to work out who drives them there and who brings them back.
During the day there is company, food and activities, and depending on the program there may be nursing and therapies.
It is known as Adult Day Care or, when it includes health services, Adult Day Health Care (ADHC).
What it usually includes
Care and companionship
- Round trip transportation between home and the center
- Meals during the day
- Social and recreational activities
- Ongoing supervision
- Adapted exercise
Health services, depending on the program
- Nursing
- Medication administration or supervision
- Therapies
Who it is usually considered for
- People aged 55 and over who spend many hours alone at home.
- Families where the person who provides care works during the day.
- Families where nobody can take their mom or their dad there and back every day.
- People who need supervision, but not a residential facility.
- People who have become isolated and go out less and less.
What is worth knowing
- It is not a nursing home or a residence. The person sleeps at home.
- Transportation runs between home and the center. It is not a ride to medical appointments and it is not an ambulance.
- Nursing and therapies depend on the program and on each person coverage.
- Available services vary from one center to another and from one county to another.
Eligibility and final coverage are determined by the plan, the program or the authorized provider, never by Community Wellness Group.
