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 Michigan licensing and regional aging-network oversight, and some services may be covered for eligible seniors through the MI Choice Waiver. A typical monthly range is $70 to $100 a day.
The details that matter most rarely show up in the brochure:
- whether there is a secured track for dementia participants
- the staff-to-participant ratio and transportation options
- whether the MI Choice Waiver can offset the cost
