What is considered an adult day care center in CACFP?
Licensed or approved adult day care centers that are operated by public, private nonprofit organizations, and certain for-profit organizations may participate in CACFP, if they serve elderly persons 60 years of age or older or chronically impaired disabled persons, 18 years of age or older. An eligible center must be nonresidential and provide a community-based program. These programs should be structured, comprehensive and provide health and social support services to enrolled participants. Centers that simply provide social or rehabilitative services to adults do not qualify to participate in CACFP.
