ELDERLY CARE: ADULT DAY CARE
Adult
daycare center
An adult daycare center is a non-residential facility specializing
in providing activities for elderly and/or handicapped individuals.
Most centers operate 10 - 12 hours per day and provide meals,
social/recreational outings, and general supervision. Adult
daycare centers operate under a social model and/or a health
care model. Daycare centers may also focus on providing care
only for persons with Alzheimer's and related dementias or their
services may be available for any disabled adult. Some daycare
centers maintain a nurse on-site. Occasionally, there will be
a small room devoted to clients to have vital signs checked,
etc. by a medical assistant/nurse when needed. They may also
provide transportation and personal care as well as counseling
for caretakers. Adult daycare centers offer numerous benefits
to participants and their caregivers. Participation in Adult
day care often delays admission to rest homes and nursing homes,
as participants are able to remain at home with family members
longer due to the added support. For participants who would
otherwise stay at home alone, the social stimulation and recreational
activities often improve, maintain, or delay decline of physical
and cognitive function. For caregivers, adult day care centers
provide respite care, enabling caregivers to work or to have
a break from their caregiving responsibilities. Currently more
than 3,500 adult day centers are currently operating in the
United States providing care for 150,000 older Americans each
day. Nearly 78 percent of adult day centers are operated on
a nonprofit or public basis. Daily fees for services are almost
always less than a home health visit and about half the cost
of a skilled nursing facility. Daily fees for adult day services
vary depending upon the services provided. Average cost across
the country is approximately $56.Funding for adult day services
comes from participant fees, third party payers as well as public
and philanthropic sources.

ABOUT ORANGE COUNTY WHERE THE MAJORITY OF OUR CLIENTS ARE:
Orange County is a county in Southern California, United States.
Its county seat is Santa Ana. According to the 2000 Census, its
population was 2,846,289, making it the second most populous county
in the state of California, and the fifth most populous in the
United States. The state of California estimates its population
as of 2007 to be 3,098,121 people, dropping its rank to third,
behind San Diego County. Thirty-four incorporated cities are located
in Orange County; the newest is Aliso Viejo.
Unlike many other large centers of population in the United States,
Orange County uses its county name as its source of identification
whereas other places in the country are identified by the large
city that is closest to them. This is because there is no defined
center to Orange County like there is in other areas which have
one distinct large city. Five Orange County cities have populations
exceeding 170,000 while no cities in the county have populations
surpassing 360,000. Seven of these cities are among the 200 largest
cities in the United States.
Orange County is also famous as a tourist destination, as the
county is home to such attractions as Disneyland and Knott's Berry
Farm, as well as sandy beaches for swimming and surfing, yacht
harbors for sailing and pleasure boating, and extensive area devoted
to parks and open space for golf, tennis, hiking, kayaking, cycling,
skateboarding, and other outdoor recreation. It is at the center
of Southern California's Tech Coast, with Irvine being the primary
business hub.
The average price of a home in Orange County is $541,000. Orange
County is the home of a vast number of major industries and service
organizations. As an integral part of the second largest market
in America, this highly diversified region has become a Mecca
for talented individuals in virtually every field imaginable.
Indeed the colorful pageant of human history continues to unfold
here; for perhaps in no other place on earth is there an environment
more conducive to innovative thinking, creativity and growth than
this exciting, sun bathed valley stretching between the mountains
and the sea in Orange County.
Orange County was Created March 11 1889, from part of Los Angeles
County, and, according to tradition, so named because of the flourishing
orange culture. Orange, however, was and is a commonplace name
in the United States, used originally in honor of the Prince of
Orange, son-in-law of King George II of England.
