Adult day programs provide supervised care, social engagement, therapy, and health monitoring for seniors and adults with disabilities — often serving as the primary daily structured support for people who live at home but need more than home care. Transportation is the backbone of program participation. DachiPlus provides scheduled morning pickup and afternoon return transport to adult day health care programs (ADHCPs), social adult day services (SADS), and PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) sites across Long Island. Medicaid covers adult day transportation, and most long-term care insurance policies include a transportation benefit.
