If you are considering adult day services for your elder family member, it is important to remember there are three models of care: medical/health model, social model, and specialized models. The prices vary greatly between the different models, as each provides unique services. Facilities providing a medical/health model are the most costly, as they typically employ more nurses and offer a wider range of treatments and services. Social models are often the least expensive, as they typically are reserved for seniors that require the least personal care.
On a national average, the medical/health model facilities typically charge $79 per day. A combination medical/health and social model, or a specialized model, typically charge $71 per day. A basic social model will average $62 per day.
