Visiting an adult day care center
Spend a day at the adult day care center that
sounds best to you, so you can get a “feel” for
the people and the environment. Also, check
out references. Talk to others who have used
the adult day care center and ask for their
opinions.
You may wish to try out different adult day
care centers a few times each to see whether
your experience on different days confirms
your initial impressions. Be sure to bringA

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. Long-term 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
