Through a partnership between the Ohio Department of Aging and LeadingAge Ohio, Ohioans are now able learn more about adult day services through a new website – AdultDayOhio.org – and will also be able to partake in a series of educational events throughout the state.
Adult day services offer an affordable alternative to traditional long-term care placement and allow older adults who need support to remain in their homes longer.
AdultDayOhio.org includes information about the service – including frequently asked questions and guidance for caregivers, health care providers, and referral sources. AdultDayOhio.org also features a comprehensive directory of adult day centers across the state.
There are also free educational events around Ohio to inform caregivers and health care providers on the benefits of adult day services, while also connecting them to providers in the area.
