Adult Day Care
 Adult
Day Care programs provide an assortment of health, therapeutic,
and social services to those at risk of being placed in a nursing
environment. Adult Day Care services support elderly individuals
who lack full independence but who do not need 24-hour nursing
care. Services may include therapeutic and social activities designed
to meet and enhance the participant's level of functioning through
individual plans of care. Such Adult Day Care services generally
provide support, respite and education for caregivers.
A typical Adult Day Care center operates 10 - 12 hours per day
and provides meals, social/recreational outings, and general supervision.
Some Adult Day Care centers maintain a nurse on-site and may also
provide transportation and personal care.
With the added support through participation in Adult Day Care,
admission to rest homes or nursing homes may be delayed. Hence,
participants may be able to remain at home with family members
for a longer period of time. In addition the social stimulation
and recreational activities often mitigate the decline of cognitive/physical
functions.
Adult Day Care support also aids caregivers by providing respite
services thus enabling caregivers to work or to have a break from
their caregiving responsibilities.
Costs for services are usually less than a home health visit and
significantly less than a skilled nursing facility. Daily fees
for adult day services vary depending upon the services provided.

Insurance, Long Term Care
|
Because of old age, mental or physical illness,
or injury, some people find themselves in need of help with
eating, bathing, dressing, and other physical activities. Long-term
care insurance can help pay for such care in the future. To
help protect your financial independence, as you grow older,
many Long Term Care Insurance providers have plans that offer
comprehensive benefits as well as a proven track record of claims
payments and financial stability. You should review all your
options carefully.
