Colorado Adult Day Care Information

Colorado certifies two types of Adult Day Centers: Adult Day Services and Specialized Adult Day Services. Adult day services is defined to mean health and social services, individual therapeutic and psychological activities furnished on a regularly scheduled basis in an adult day services center, as an alternative to long-term nursing facility care. Specialized adult day services centers are defined as one that provides intensive health supportive services for participants with a primary diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or other dementias, Multiple Sclerosis, brain injury, chronic mental illness, or developmental disabilities. They may, also, provide such services for post-stroke participants who require extensive rehabilitative therapies. The state has staffing and service requirements specifically for SADS centers that differ from those for ADS centers.
