day centers
Daytime care venues
Day centers are facilities where people receive care, supervision, or activities during daytime hours without staying overnight.
Most commonly, they serve elderly adults who need assistance but live at home, or adults with disabilities who benefit from structured programs.
Day centers provide meals, social interaction, and sometimes medical monitoring, giving family caregivers respite during working hours: Mom goes to the day center three days a week.
Also called day care centers or adult day programs.
