The Benefits of Adult Day Care
If you prefer to live at home in the company of family and friends, adult day care can help you remain in your home rather than moving to a nursing facility or a personal care residential home.

Most older adults prefer to live at home in the company of family and friends. Adult day care can help older adults to remain in their homes rather than being placed in a nursing facility or a personal care residential home.

Adult day care is a planned program in a community setting. It provides services such as socialization, recreation, nutrition, transportation, supervision, basic personal care, reality orientation, and self-help training.

Adult day care facilities in Pennsylvania, depending on the setting, may include medical help such as:

• Physical therapy
• Occupational therapy
• Basic medical care
• Nursing care
• More intensive personal care

Additionally, adult day care gives you the care you need, while providing a respite for caregivers. Your family members or loved ones can have the freedom to work outside the home or simply take more time for themselves, knowing that you have the assistance and support to help you live comfortably.
