Adult daycare centres are non-residential facilities that provide health, nutritional, social, and daily living support for adults with disabilities, including dementia, in a professionally staffed group setting. They operate under either a social model (focusing on socialisation and prevention) or a medical model (including skilled assessment and rehabilitation), often offering meals, activities, and on-site nursing. A key benefit is that attending these centres can prevent re-hospitalisation and delay admission to residential long-term care, while also providing crucial respite for caregivers—indeed, 19.1% of caregivers utilise these services to work or take a break. Participants gain from social stimulation and recreational activities that improve physical fitness, cognitive function, and emotional well-being, as well as guidance on healthy diets and exercise regimes. The demand for these centres is growing globally, particularly in the United States where all fifty states participate, though terminology varies internationally—with Australia and Europe often using terms like 'respite' or 'community care' instead of 'adult daycare'.
