Carol Bradley Bursack, Jan 14, 2011
Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."
That depends on the adult day care so you'd have to check with the facility. If your loved one has Long-term care insurance, they may pay part of the cost. Otherwise, unfortunately, it's generally up to the person to pay. However, ADC centers provide many perks for elders and their caregivers - or at least they can. Good luck,Carol

How can I find an adult day care or senior center near Hickam AFB for my 72 year old father who is coming to stay with me for a few weeks. I want him to visit, but we still have to work and I want him to have company his own age during the day. He's legally blind, but can move around very well.

If the loved one is on some kind of elderly waiver program, check whether that covers all or part of the cost. If you have a case worker, that person can guide you.
