Bold new models of adult day services are beginning to enter the market. Senior living providers would be wise to take note and consider this growing market opportunity for their own businesses.

Adult day care is going to be an important part of the senior living continuum, said Plante Moran Living Forward Partner and Practice Leader Dana Wollschlager in a recent Senior Housing News article.
