Both adult day centers and senior centers provide recreation. An adult medical day center also provides medical monitoring by a licensed nurse, help with basic activities of daily living, and services for caregivers. Senior centers offer a variety of services, classes, and health and fitness activities. Those attending senior centers are able to get around independently and participate in many of the activities at the center. For those who need assistance getting around, have memory problems, or need medications administered during the day, an adult medical day center would be a more appropriate choice.
