Adult day care services and activities vary from center to center depending on the budget and needs of the individual clients. Seniors who need more structure and supervision than can be provided by local senior centers, seniors suffering from social isolation, and seniors who want to stay in their home and communities but need supervision while their caregivers are away at work. Also, caregivers who need a break from caring for their loved one 24 hours a day may benefit from using Adult Day Care. However, some centers may cost more depending on the type of care provided and some cost less, especially if the center is a recipient of government grants and subsidies. Medicaid and VA benefits may cover the cost of adult day care if the client would otherwise need nursing home care and if the center is an approved site.
Some centers have scholarships available to help cover costs for low-income seniors.
