Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about adult day care
1 What is adult day care?
Adult day care is a professional care service that provides supervised daytime care for seniors and elderly adults who need assistance or cannot be left alone. Senior day care centers are designed for older adults who require monitoring, social engagement, and support during daytime hours while their primary caregivers work or need respite. Services typically include meals, activities, and health monitoring, with most centers operating Monday through Friday during business hours.

3 What are the typical hours of operation?
Most adult day care and senior day care centers operate during standard business hours, typically Monday through Friday from early morning to early evening. This schedule accommodates working caregivers who need daytime care for their elderly family members. Our directory provides detailed hours for each day of the week for every listed facility.
4 What services do adult day care centers provide?
Adult day care centers offer a range of services for seniors and elderly adults, including supervised activities, social interaction, health monitoring, meals and snacks, and assistance with daily activities. Many centers also provide specialized memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, adult day health services including nursing care, and transportation. Our listings include detailed information about each center's specific service offerings.
5 What are PACE programs?
PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a Medicare and Medicaid program that provides comprehensive medical and social services to eligible seniors who need nursing home-level care but prefer to remain in their community. PACE programs offer adult day health services, transportation, meals, and medical care all in one program. PACE is currently available in 33 states across the United States.
6 Can I pay for adult day care with Medicaid?
Many adult day care and senior day care centers accept Medicaid as a form of payment. Medicaid coverage for adult day care varies by state, with some states offering coverage through PACE programs or other waiver programs. Our directory indicates which centers accept Medicaid, helping you find affordable day care in your area.
7 What is the difference between senior day care and assisted living?
Senior day care provides supervised care during daytime hours while allowing individuals to return home in the evening. Unlike assisted living facilities, adult day care centers do not provide overnight accommodations or 24-hour care. Senior day care is ideal for elderly adults who need daytime supervision, social engagement, or memory care but can still live at home or with family members.
8 What is adult day health care?
Adult day health care (also called ADHC) provides medical and therapeutic services in addition to the social and supportive services offered at standard adult day care centers. Adult day health programs typically include nursing services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and medication management. These programs are designed for seniors with more complex medical needs who still wish to remain living at home.
9 How do I contact an adult day care center?
Each listing in our directory includes direct contact information for the facility, including phone numbers and websites when available. You can reach out to them directly to ask questions about services, schedule visits, inquire about Medicaid acceptance, or to learn more about availability and pricing.
10 How do I prepare for the first day?
Before the first day, contact the facility to discuss specific requirements, necessary paperwork, and what to bring. Many centers offer orientation visits to help new clients and their families become familiar with the facility, staff, daily routines, and activities. Ask about meal options, medication management, and any specialized care needs.
