Adult day services are community based group programs designed to meet the needs of adults with impairments through individual plans of care.  These structured, comprehensive, non-residential programs provide a variety of health, social, recreational and therapeutic activities, supervision, support services, and in some cases, personal care.  Occasional respite for less than 3 or for more than 24 hours may be part of Adult Day Services.  Meals and/or nutritious snacks are required and must meet the Recommended Daily Allowance for adults.  These services must be provided in a congregate, protective setting.  By supporting families and other caregivers, adult day services enable participants to live in the community.
