Who Benefits From Adult Day Services?
Individuals who attend adult day centers may be blind, developmentally disabled, elderly, frail, mentally ill, or suffer with memory loss (Alzheimer's and related disorders). They are the most vulnerable residents of New York State.
Adult day centers provide caregivers with critically-needed respite from their 24/7 caregiving responsibilities so they can continue to provide care for their loved one(s), and remain productive members of the workforce.
According to the New York State Office For the Aging, there are more than 136,000 people 85 years or older, living in the State. This population will increase by 127% in the next 10 years. It is estimated that 95% of the frail elderly in our communities receive at least one type of care from family and unpaid caregivers.
There is a tremendous need for adult day services in New York State, and this cannot be underestimated. Without access to services, the physical and mental health of many adults and their caregivers may deteriorate.

What Are Adult Day Service Programs?
Social Adult Day Centers (SADC) are of vital importance to physically and mentally frail individuals (including Alzheimer's and related disorders), and help these individuals remain in their community.
SADC provide individuals assistance with several activities of daily living, such as: eating, toileting, transferring, and walking.They also encourage participants' independence, maximizing on each individual's abilities and interests. Components of SADC include: socialization through therapeutic interaction, supervision, and nutrition. SADC can also provide case management, education, and support groups to caregivers to extend their abilities.
New York State Office For the Aging (SOFA) Title 9 Code (Section 6654.20) lists requirements for administration and operation of SADC. Oversight is provided by Area Agencies on Aging.

Enriched Social Adult Day Services Programs - An Exploratory Demonstration Project
In an ongoing effort to broaden services, NYSADSA supports Enriched Social Adult Day Programs. Enriched SADC programs exist for functionally-impaired older New Yorkers. These newer programs offer an enhanced package of services, and provide more than what is currently required of social adult day services programs.
Accordingly, the New York State Office For the Aging (SOFA), in collaboration with the New York State Department of Health (DOH), has made grants available on a competitive basis to not-for-profit agencies or local governments. At the present time, SOFA is still reviewing applications to determine which agencies will receive grant funding. NYSADSA continues to monitor the progress of these grant awards.

2010 Adult Day Services Report
Finding care resources to meet your needs or those of a loved one is not always easy and it can be very costly both at home, depending upon the level of care needed, or in a residential care setting such as an assisted living community or a nursing home.
Most people want to remain at home if possible. One option to consider is Adult Day Services (ADS). These centers have two primary missions: 1) to provide individuals with needed care, socialization, and supervision in a community setting and 2) to provide caregivers respite from the demanding responsibilities of caregiving.
