Day care for adults is for people aged 16 and over including:
older people (over 65);
older people who are mentally frail (over 65);
people with mental health problems (16 - 65);
people with learning disabilities (16 - 65);
people with physical disabilities (16 - 65);
people with visual impairments (16 and over); and
people with hearing impairments (16 and over).
Not everyone would be eligible for day care, however. Social workers use guidelines called eligibility criteria to help them decide who is eligible for day care.
