Care givers for the elderly (Adult Day Care), particularly in today’s economy, often are surrogates for professionals who provide elderly care. When an elderly relative or friend requires additional care to administer basic needs, ideally a live-in care giver for the elderly is the most efficient means of care. This is, however, the most expensive means of elderly care and for many families, cost prohibitive. Some families who wish to keep their elderly family member at home choose visiting or other social services care that is offered on a daily, bi-weekly or weekly basis depending on need. This is less expensive, although it can be difficult to engage for regular care.
