Variation in Adult Day Services Center Participant Characteristics by Center Ownership: United States, 2020.

Abstract

An estimated 237,400 participants were enrolled in adult day services centers (ADSCs) in the United States in 2020 (1). Compared with users of other long-term care services, ADSC participants are younger and more racially and ethnically diverse (2). ADSC participants have a diverse set of needs, with many participants requiring assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) and having chronic health conditions (3). This report presents the most current national estimates of selected characteristics of participants in ADSCs and compares these characteristics by center ownership type.
