Adult Day Care provides a safe and supportive environment for seniors during the day. It is an essential community-based service that allows family caregivers to work or take necessary respite while ensuring their loved ones receive proper care.
Adult Day Care typically operates under two primary models, with memory care options available in both.
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover the cost of adult day care services. However, some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans may provide limited coverage for adult day care.
*Conditions vary by plan, so prior verification is required.
Costs vary significantly based on location, type of facility, and services provided. Additional fees may apply for transportation, specialized diets, or extended hours.
*For exact pricing, contact facilities directly or use the Eldercare Locator.
