Georgia Adult Day Services Information

Adult day services, in Georgia, are designed to offer a safe group environment with coordinated health and social services. The intention of such services is to stabilize or improve self-care. In addition, such programs will ideally help prevent, postpone, or reduce the need for institutional placement. Support is, therefore, provided for elderly individuals who do not need 24 hour nursing care, but who cannot fully function independently.

Georgia Adult Day Care Services minimum standards include that certain programs and services be included in all adult day programs. Services such as skilled physical, occupational, and speech therapy, health monitoring, ADI assistance, health-related care, nursing services and skilled nursing services are required. Adult Day Care Service providers, in Georgia, are required to have a written policy regarding medication management and specific staff should be designated, authorized and trained to assist with the administration of medications. A staff to participant ratio of 1:4 or 1:8 is required depending on the type of adult day care service program being provided.
