Skilled Adult Day Care Center Representation

Adult day care centers play a vital role in meeting the needs of those with disabilities. Many provide an enriching outpatient environment, complete with therapeutic activities, learning opportunities, social engagement and field trips.

These centers are subject to similar rules and regulations as nursing homes and other care facilities. They also must still comply with licensure requirements regarding staffing, training, hygiene, sanitation, standards of care, and other important health and safety issues.

Nearly half of adult day care patients have cognitive disabilities, according to the National Adult Day Services Association (NADSA). Conditions such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, and Down syndrome make these patients especially vulnerable to abuse and neglect. Aggression between residents can also be a source of injuries.
