It’s not easy to admit that your parents or grandparents might need to go to an adult day care as they get older. Choosing one can be even harder when you aren’t sure where to start. Bethany St. Joseph Corporation of La Crosse, WI, has several tips on how to pick a place for your loved one.

The Location

Accessibility is important, and there are plenty of factors to consider like how far of a drive it is from your family member’s home, if the center provides transportation and whether there’s an extra charge, and how easy it is for your loved one to get there on their own.

A License

You should check that the adult day care center is licensed in your state, and it should be from your state’s health department or department of social services. You should also research any complaints that may have been filed with either department against the center, so you can ensure it treats its clients well.

Cost, Hours & Level of Care

The cost should align with your finances, and their hours should work within the time your loved one needs care. The level of care they provide is also an important factor. Find out how many staff workers there are, the types of activities available, and whether the center can help with special needs, like dementia or Alzheimer’s.
