Adult Day Health Care Adult Day Health Care SFY 2017-18 Final State Budget Adult Day Health Care The final budget includes few provisions specifically affecting adult day health care (ADHC) providers. ADHC Transportation In response to strong advocacy by the Adult Day Health Care Council (ADHCC) and LeadingAge NY, the final budget does not include an Executive Budget administrative proposal to allow the State’s Medicaid transportation broker (Medical Answering Services) to manage all transportation of ADHC registrants. The associated $5 million of anticipated State savings was restored by the Legislature. Social Adult Day Care (SADC) SADC services were level-funded at $1,072,000 to provide grants to support these programs through the New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA).
