Adult Day Care is generally considered an alternative to long-term care and rehabilitation. There are two general types of adult day care programs—a medical model and a social model. The medical model provides comprehensive medical, therapeutic, and rehabilitation day treatment. The social model offers supervised activities, peer support, companionship, and recreation. Both models assist seniors and can provide respite to their caregivers. Hospice programs provide relief to terminally ill patients while attending to the emotional needs of their family at an inpatient facility or at the patient’s home.
