Costs and financial assistance for adult day care
In the U. S., the average cost for an adult day care center is about $ 64 per day, depending on where you live and the services provided( e. g., meals, transportation, nursing supervision). Professional health care services will mean higher fees. Many facilities offer services on a sliding fee scale, meaning that what you pay is based on your income and ability to pay.
While Medicare does not cover adult day care centers, Medicaid will pay most or all of the costs in licensed adult day health care settings and Alzheimer’ s-focused centers for participants with very low income and few assets. Be sure to ask about financial assistance and possible scholarships.
Private medical insurance policies sometimes cover a portion of adult day care center costs when licensed medical professionals are involved in the care. Longterm care insurance may also pay for adult day services, depending on the policy. Additionally, dependent-care tax credits may be available to the caregiver. n
