Adult day care is a generic term that applies to a variety of programs offering services that range from active rehabilitation to social and health-related care. Various terminologies are applied: day care, day treatment, day health care, and psychiatric day treatment, partial hospitalization and day hospital care. Adult day care is coordinated with, and relates to other agencies and services and institutional and hospital care. It is an innovative way to organize and blend traditional health and social services for the disabled adult.
Adult day care is a community-based service which:
- helps mentally or physically impaired adults to maintain or improve their level of functioning, in order to remain in the community
- offers members the opportunity to socialize, enjoy peer support, and receive medical and social services in a stimulating and supportive environment that promotes better physical and mental health
- provides assistance to families and caregivers who have responsibility for an impaired older adult who cannot be left alone during the day and yet who does not require 24-hour nursing care in an institution
- helps to prevent the inappropriate placement or premature institutionalization of older impaired adults
- helps older impaired adults who live alone and need supportive services to improve or maintain their level of independence

The increasing number of people who live to advanced years and whose functional levels are impaired has created a need for a broad range of community-based services to assist those older persons, younger disabled adults, and their families or caregivers.
An adult day care program provides a gamut of health and social services in a congregate setting, enhancing the daily lives of the program's members and enabling their continued involvement in the community. |

"As the economy recovers from one of the most challenging economic periods, one clear trend has emerged: Americans are getting back to basics. While families begin to rebuild their nest eggs and plans for a secure financial future, families now have a unique opportunity to address one of the most basic issues of all- preparing for the possibility that they will need long-term care.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans over the age of 65 will need long term care at home, or through adult day care, or care in an assisted living facility or nursing home. Unfortunately long term care expenses can deplete a family's hard-earned savings."
- Genworth Financial 2010 Cost of Care Survey
