Senior Citizens are America’s fastest growing social group. By the year 2020, an estimated 30 percent of the domestic population will qualify for social security. The decision to obtain specialized care for the elderly is one that many families face, and that number is only expected to continue growing.
Physician’s Adult Daycare, Inc. realizes the importance of developing more affordable solutions in this arena. The economic strain that falls to both the individual and government agencies is something that it plans to directly address. There are many circumstances under which full-time institutionalization of elderly or handicapped loved-ones is neither cost-effective, nor desirable. That is where Adult Daycare comes into play.
CEO Duane Starkey was quoted saying, “Adult Daycare provides services for the elderly and the handicapped at the most reasonable costs among all the providers. Studies of seniors have proven that Adult Daycare can reduce the onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s. Costs for these services are reimbursed for Medicaid clients that qualify. Medicare anticipates funding for these services in mid-2009.”
Physician’s Adult Daycare is working toward creating a better quality of life for all parties involved in these difficult processes. Adult day care centers ease both the fiscal and emotional burdens of caregivers, while still providing necessary health services, therapeutic services, and social activities for the elderly.
