Expanding Medicare coverage for adult day care:
According to the National Family Caregivers Association, more than 50 million people provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or aged family member or friend during any given year. Many family caregivers make direct, out-of-pocket expenditures to help support care recipients and often sacrifice their long-term financial and personal well-being to do so. The AARP estimates that family caregivers provide an estimated $350 billion in uncompensated care annually. Caregiving also places a huge economic toll on the workplace. According to the MetLife Mature Market Institute and the National Alliance for Caregiving, the total estimated cost to employers for full-time employees with caregiving responsibilities is $33.6 billion annually.
What AFA is doing: Adult day centers serve as an effective source of relief to family caregivers and provide quality care options for our nation’s elderly population, which is about to dramatically increase with the aging of the baby boomer generation . AFA is urging Congress to support H.R. 3043 (Linda Sánchez), (Senate bill not yet introduced), the “Medicare Adult Day Care Services Act of 2009,” which would include adult day care as a covered provider of post-acute services under Medicare. This bill would pay adult day care providers 98 percent of the Medicare-certified home health rate and give seniors the option to choose adult day care or in-home care. Services at adult day care may include: nursing, physical, occupational and speech therapy, dignified assistance with activities of daily living, nutrition therapy, health monitoring, social interaction, stimulating activities and transportation. These care hours and additional services are critical to keeping individuals healthier and at home. In addition, the social aspects of adult day care may offer some relief from the isolation and depression that often accompany chronic illness and disabilities.
