To utilize a community service in which to observe and care for the elderly or disabled client.
Philosophy
- Rights: All adults have basic human rights including the right to be treated with dignity and respect. Our concern for humanity must be expressed in the manner in which we care for adult day care participants and their caregivers.
- Choices: There should be choices of long-term care services in Missouri. We believe adult day care is an extremely important component of the long-term care continuum.
- Equity: Adult day care services should be affordable. Furthermore, adult day care providers should be reimbursed at a level to cover program costs.
- Leadership: The Missouri Adult Day Care Association must help develop and support the leadership and education needs of its membership as they fulfill roles within the association and their communities.
