Sec. 52.61  General requirements for adult day health care program.

    Adult day health care must be a therapeutically-oriented outpatient 
day program, which provides health maintenance and rehabilitative 
services to participants. The program must provide individualized care 
delivered by an interdisciplinary health care team and support staff, 
with an emphasis on helping participants and their caregivers to develop 
the knowledge and skills necessary to manage care requirements in the 
home. Adult day health care is principally targeted for complex medical 
and/or functional needs of geriatric patients.
