Public Policy
Adult day services are increasing, with a 35% rise in centers in the United States in the last 8 years. Licensure in the state of Indiana is imperative if we are to maintain a healthy minimum level of best practices for our industry. The IAADS Regulations Committee has testified before the State Health Finance Commission and the testimony was well received.
While the majority of oversight for licensure typically operates through the Division of Health; we are seeking this type of relationship with the Division of Aging. They currently oversee the optional Medicaid Waiver certification for ADS and are well-versed in the adult day services industry. We are proposing that licensure be based on the existing Medicaid Waiver Standards and Guidelines as the IAADS Board was instrumental in their development.
