The first adult day care centers opened in England during the 1940s and 1950s. Established by psychiatric hospitals, these centers were designed to reduce the frequency of hospital admissions. The first adult day care centers in the United States appeared during the early 1970s.
Adult day services allow working caregivers to attend to job responsibilities with the comfort of knowing their family member is in a professionally staffed, supportive group program. For individuals who have long-term care insurance policies that cover adult day services, it can serve as a less costly solution that will help to efficiently use the maximum benefits available under their plan. Adult day services can benefit employees who are caregivers with a viable work/life solution that can result in a more productive and satisfied workforce. 1  Locate an adult day center. 2  Choose an adult day center. 3  Site Visit Checklist. 4  Eldercare Locator.
