Adult Day Care
Questions to ask before choosing an adult day care facility
1. How much does the program cost? Is there a sliding scale? Is there grant money available? Are veterans eligible for any funding?
2. Is transportation provided? How long will my loved one be on the bus?
3. How long does the average employee stay on the job? (High staff turnover can signal problems with the program.)
4. May I contact a current client? (If so, then ask that person for a list of the facility's pros and cons, whether they would recommend it to a friend, and if they've seen changes in their loved one since they started attending.)
5. Do you have any strategies to help me introduce the idea of day care to my loved one?
6. What is your staff to client ratio? (The national average is 1 to 7.)
7. Do you manage clients' medication while they are here?
8. What kind of food do you serve? Can you accommodate special dietary restrictions? - AP
