Section 7-2 - Purpose

These program administration rules have been adopted to provide criteria for the day-to-day operations of adult day care facilities.

(a) The purpose of the Program Administration Rules and Regulations for Adult Day Care Facilities is to protect aged, blind, or adults with disabilities who are away from their homes during a part of the day by:

  • (i) Ensuring that the activities and services of adult day care facilities are conducive to the well-being of the participants; and
  • (ii) Reducing risks in the caregiving environment.

(b) Adult day care is a community-based group program designed to meet the needs of adults with physical or mental disabilities through an individual activity care plan. It is a structured, comprehensive program that provides a variety of health, social, and related support services in a protective setting during any part of a day but less than 24-hour care.

(c) Individuals who participate in adult day care attend on a planned basis during specified hours.1 Adult day care assists its participants to remain in the community and prevents inappropriate or premature institutionalization, enabling families and other care givers to continue caring for an impaired individual at home.
