title: Adult day centers: everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask!
abstract: Adult day services are a growing component of the wide spectrum of home and community-based care. However, up until now there has been only sketchy information about how many centers there are, what they do, whom they serve, and how they operate. This research brief presents findings from a new study by Partners in Caregiving: The Adult Day Services Program at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, which provides the most comprehensive information to date about this important service. Understanding what centers do and whom they serve can be the start of a beautiful relationship.
