Ohio Adult Day Care Information
Adult day service is defined, in the state of Ohio, as a nonresidential community-based service that has been specifically designed to meet the needs of cognitively and/or functionally impaired adults. Those needs are met through the creation and implementation of an individualized care plan designed to both maximize functional abilities and encourage optimal capacity for self-care. Such programs offer carefully supervised, comprehensive and structured, components provided in a safe and protective setting. Participants who are enrolled in adult day services attend during specified hours on a planned basis.
Certification of adult day care centers, in Ohio, is restricted only to Medicaid providers. In other words, non-Medicaid providers do not have to be certified. Those Medicaid programs that are certified must be assigned a rating of either “enhanced” or “intensive” by the Ohio Department of Aging.
Ohio Adult Day Care Minimum Standards
In Ohio, enhanced adult day service are those programs which provide supervision during all activities of daily living (ADLs), medication administration, and/or hands-on assistance with one ADL (except bathing) and medication administration, comprehensive therapeutic activities, as well as an initial health assessment and intermittent monitoring of each participant’s health status.
Intensive adult day service, however, includes all services mentioned in enhanced services above. In addition, intensive adult day service programs must offer assistance with two or more ADLs; assistance with bathing; health assessment and regular monitoring of, or intervention with, health status; skilled nursing services, and rehabilitative nursing procedures. They must also offer rehabilitative and restorative services which may include social work service, speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy.
