day programs
Structured daytime activities
Day programs are structured activities provided during daytime hours for people who need supervision or support but don't require residential care.
They typically serve adults with disabilities, mental illness, or dementia, offering social interaction, skill-building, and respite for caregivers: My father attends an adult day program three times a week.
The term also applies to outpatient treatment programs for addiction or mental health that don't involve overnight stays.
