Adult Day Services

Structured daytime programs — meals, social activities, sometimes medical oversight — for adults who can't be home alone.

What they don't tell you

Average cost is $90-$110/day, often less than home care. Some Medicaid waivers cover it. It buys working caregivers their day back. Wildly underused because nobody markets it.
