Pennsylvania Adult Day Care Information
In Pennsylvania, adult day care is defined as premises that are operated for profit or not for profit in which older adult daily living services are simultaneously provided for part of a 24-hour day for four or more clients who are not relatives of the operator. Adult day health care facilities in Pennsylvania are licensed.
Pennsylvania Adult Day Care Minimum Standards
In Pennsylvania, adult day care providers may serve individuals who have functional impairments such as post-stroke dementia, Parkinson’s disease, or dementia-related disease such as Alzheimer’s. Those clients may be in need of a structured program of activities or services, as determined by a thorough intake screening process. To participate in the program, clients must be able to be transported to and from the service site. All participants must be at least 18 years or older. The state requires a staff to participant ratio of 1:7.
Every adult day care center is required to submit an annual survey questionnaire that describes its programs and the clients it serves. At least once a year, an authorized agent of the Department must conduct an on-site center inspection. The summary of adult day care requirements in this state can be found here.
Pennsylvania Adult Day Care Medicaid Waiver
Medicaid funds services at older adult daily living centers through a waiver program which is administered by the Department of Aging. There are no Medicaid requirements for adult day health care providers other than licensure.
