Adult Day Care: what you're actually buying
Adult day care provides daytime supervision, meals, and activities — and often a dementia track — so a family caregiver can work while a parent is cared for and engaged.
Adult day care programs operate under Georgia licensing and regional aging-network oversight, and some services may be covered for eligible seniors through the CCSP waiver or SOURCE program. A typical monthly range is $65 to $95 a day.
Before you tour, know what actually predicts quality:
- whether there is a secured track for dementia participants
- the staff-to-participant ratio and transportation options
- whether the CCSP waiver or SOURCE program can offset the cost
