ADAKC does this by providing an affordable answer to in-home daytime care and “guilt-free” time for the primary caregivers all why delaying the need to institutionalize or place a loved one.
Rates & Financial Assistance
Program Rate: $20 per hour
While the actual cost of care is higher, our hourly rate is significantly subsidized through grants and generous community donations to ensure our services remain accessible to families in need.
Social Model of Care:
ADAKC operates under a social model of adult day services, meaning we focus on engaging activities, emotional support, and a safe, structured environment rather than providing medical care. As a result, we are not able to bill or accept traditional health insurance. However, we are pleased to accept Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits and Long-Term Care insurance for eligible participants.
Financial Assistance:
We offer a Financial Assistance Program (FAP) for families who need support with program fees. Availability depends on current grant funding and may be paused if funds are fully allocated. Please contact our Family Services Department to learn more about eligibility and how to apply.
Caregiver Support Group
