Adult Day Programs encourage the active participation of frail seniors in a variety of activities ranging from social to educational pursuits. Whether utilized as a way to fill lonely hours or as a means of sharing knowledge and special life skills, these centers offer a safe, comfortable alternative to what may be inappropriate placement in full time care. Care is provided for individuals unable to be left alone during the day. Medicaid may be available if individuals cannot afford the daily rates. Individuals must meet the qualifying requirements of Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) both financially and functionally. Expenses for adult day care must be less than the daily costs paid to a nursing home for Medicaid to assist with reimbursement. The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing certifies Adult Day Care units that accept Medicaid.
