What are the different kinds of adult day services?

Adult day services, also called adult care, are typically open during normal work hours. Unlike senior centers — which are usually sponsored by recreational departments and targeted at healthy older adults — adult day services are a resource for people with physical limitations or limited functioning due to memory loss.

Adult day services typically provide:

• Supervision
• Recreation and social activities
• Meals
• Varying levels of medical services, from none to extensive

Some adult day services offer evening and weekend hours, and transportation.
