Guide to Adult Day Programs
There are two types of adult day care centers as defined by the New York State Department of Health: the medical model which provides medical monitoring, counseling, therapy and activities; and the social model, which provides socialization, supervision and activities. It offers respite to family members and caregivers, as well as providing a supervised setting when caregivers are at work or away during the day time.
