    Data from the 2018 National Study of Long-Term Care Providers

    • In 2018, about 57% of adult day services center (ADSC) participants were female, 45% were non-Hispanic white, and 39% were under age 65.

    • Most ADSC participants were Medicaid beneficiaries (72%); about 85% of participants under age 65 were Medicaid beneficiaries.

    • About 64% of participants needed assistance with three or more activities of daily living.

    • Most ADSC participants had two or three chronic conditions; just over one-half of participants were diagnosed with high blood pressure.

    An estimated 251,100 participants were enrolled in adult day services centers (ADSCs) in the United States in 2018 (1). Compared with users of other long-term care services, ADSC participants were younger and more racially and ethnically diverse (2). ADSC participants have a diverse set of needs, with many participants requiring assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) and having chronic health conditions (3). This report presents national estimates of selected characteristics of participants of ADSCs from the 2018 National Study of Long-Term Care Providers.
