Jeff Opdyke of the Wall Street Journal had an interesting article today on the growth of adult day care in the United States.(We have to change that name. Yes, it provides care, but my mind goes to child care, and this isn’t child care. We can (have to) do better. Some Ecumen communities call it Adult Day Services …any other names come to mind?)Some interesting stats from the National Adult Day Services Association: – Demand is growing up to 15% per year. (You can count on that growing a heck of a lot more with more two-income earning baby boomer families who fall in that sandwich generation).- At least 400,000 people are served nationally in adult day services.- The average national cost is $61 a day. A home health aide in comparison runs $152 per day.
