Integration of post-acute care and hospice care in adult day services

Article indépendant

HAPP, Mary Beth | DABELKO-SCHOENY, Holly | SHIN, Ji Won

Community-based day programs for frail older adults and their family caregivers, such as Adult Day Services (ADS), play a growing role in post-acute and hospice care transitions. ADS options, however, are often overlooked in hospital and emergency department discharge planning as well as in hospice and palliative care referrals. Lack of knowledge about and connectivity with ADS programs and the range of services that individual centers provide can impede comprehensive discharge planning and limit post-acute or palliative/hospice care options for frail older adults and their family caregivers.
