The Growing Need
The 65+ population is growing rapidly, and over 70% of these individuals will require long-term care at some point in their lives. However, demand for care services already outpaces available supply. By 2035, an estimated 4.5 million older adults will need care and won’t have access to it. Traditional care options—like home care and residential facilities—face significant barriers to scaling, making it critical to find solutions that can expand access while maintaining quality and affordability.

Adult Daycare Just Makes Sense
Adult daycare combines the best aspects of existing care models while addressing their limitations. Here’s why it’s the most scalable and sustainable option to meet growing care needs:
Home Care
Labor-intensive, Low Capital
Average Cost
$6,292per month
- Labor-intensive, requiring 1:1 care that is inefficient and costly
- Lower capital investment, as care is typically provided in the client’s home
- Limited opportunities for socialization for individuals living at home
Adult Daycare
Labor-Efficient, Low Capital
Average Cost
$2,058per month
- Congregate care settings allow staff to serve multiple participants at once
- Opening an adult daycare center requires far less investment than residential facilities
- Participants continue living at home while receiving care during the day
Residential Care
Capital-Intensive, Labor-Efficient
Average Cost
$11,642per month
- Operators are often slow and inflexible in adapting to market needs
- Capital-intensive to build and maintain facilities
- Many seniors prefer to avoid living in a “nursing home"
The Future of Care
To close the care demand gap for older adults, adult daycare must grow drastically in the next decade. Its affordability, efficiency, and ability to scale make it the best option for expanding care capacity while improving the lives of participants and caregivers alike.
