Abstract:

A long term care facility such as a home for aged enjoys many advantages in providing adult day care. The home for aged has a readily available plant. It has qualified staff, professional services, and administrative leadership. It has the facilities and the expertise to expand its horizons beyond the care of persons within its own walls. Through imaginative planning, the Home can use its facilities for prevention as well as treatment of the elderly living in the community.
