Adult Day Health.
Adult Day Health.
Medicaid shall cover a service for a CAP/DA participant to attend a certified Adult Day Health Care facility. The service cares for a beneficiary who does not have other appropriate day supports and who needs a structured day program of activities and services with nursing supervision. It is an organized program of services during the day in a community group setting. The program supports the CAP/DA participant’s independence and promotes social, physical, nutritional needs and emotional well-being. Services are health services and consist of a variety of program activities designed to meet the CAP/DA participant’s needs and interests. Nutritional needs are met through personally prepared meals and snacks consistent with medical needs and dietary restrictions. The meals received as a part of adult day health services do not constitute a full nutritional regimen (three meals per day).
