Adult day-care programs are the fastest growing component of community-based long-term care. What do these programs attempt to do?
A) Maximize the existing self-care capacity of participants while preventing further limitations
B) Sponsor public agencies, religious organizations, and private groups that provide volunteers for the elderly
C) Lend wheelchairs, wheelchair vans, and other equipment to elders who require special transportation for day trips
D) Provide a safe, pleasant environment and respite for family caregivers to attend
A
Feedback:
A is the correct choice. Adult day-care programs are sponsored by, rather than sponsor, the listed groups. Such programs may provide transportation to the site but do not usually lend the equipment to others. By providing health and social services to persons with moderate physical or mental disabilities, these programs give respite to the caregivers; the caregivers themselves do not attend these programs.
