Adult Day: Rising to the Challenge and Leading Person-Centered Care in the Community

Growing demand for adult day services is putting new expectations on providers, including a need to serve people with more medical needs — and providers, including those in Minnesota, are rising to the challenge.  

The National Adult Day Services Association reports that there has been a 65% increase in the number of people receiving adult day health services in the United States since 2002, and a 35% increase in the number of adult day programs providing these services. Due to this growth, adult day centers have become leaders in providing person-centered care, managing a range of challenges such as mental health issues, chronic and acute physical conditions, and addiction disorders.

This is good news for the clients who want to stay in their homes to concerned family members who are getting a much-needed break from caring for their loved ones thanks to these valued programs.
