Adult Day Care center, also commonly known as adult day services, is a non-residential facility providing activities for elderly and/or handicapped individuals

Daycare centers may focus on providing care only for persons with Alzheimer's and related dementias or their services may be available for any disabled adult. Participation in adult day care often prevents re-hospitalizations and may delay admission to residential long term care. For participants who would otherwise stay at home alone, the social stimulation and recreational activities may improve or maintain 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
