💨 Abstract

Adult day care centers provide a solution for older adults needing support while aging in place. These centers offer social, medical, and personal care services during weekday hours, similar to assisted living but more affordable. They help reduce isolation, stimulate cognitive function, and support caregivers. Services include medication management, meals, social activities, and transportation. However, quality and staffing can vary, and they may not suit those with advanced health conditions.
