Adult day services centers have grown markedly since the first centers, as we know them today, opened in the United States in the 1960s. Given the demographics, we can expect the demand to increase beyond the estimated 5,000+ centers already operating in the United States. Starting an adult day center is not an easy task. Keeping one going after it has been launched is filled with challenges, too. But for those of us who know from our own experiences what day services mean for impaired adults and their family caregivers, the results are well worth the time, money and effort. Fortunately, many have gone before you and a number of excellent resources are available to you as you begin this endeavor.  Before investing in any resource or consultant, inquire of their experience working in the business to establish their credibility.

Determine a Need for an Adult Day Center in your Area

Join the National Adult Day Services Association

There is a wealth of information you can learn by networking with people already in the business.
