QuickStats: Percentage of Adult Day Services Center Participants,* by Selected Diagnoses† — National Study of Long-Term Care Providers, United States, 2014
Weekly
September 11, 2015 / 64(35);989* The denominator used to calculate these percentages is 282,200, which is the estimated number of enrolled adult day services center participants in the United States on any given day in 2014. Because diagnoses are not mutually exclusive, percentages add up to more than 100 percent.
† Participating administrators of adult day services centers were asked, "Of the participants enrolled at this center, about how many have been diagnosed with: a. Alzheimer's disease or other dementias, b. Intellectual or developmental disability, c. Severe mental illness, d. Depression, e. Cardiovascular disease (e.g., heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure), f. Diabetes?"
Of the six diagnoses tracked in 2014, cardiovascular disease (44%) was the most common diagnosis among adult day services center participants, and severe mental illness (10%) was the least common diagnosis. About 30% of adult day services center participants had a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or other dementias, 30% had diabetes, approximately 25% had intellectual or developmental disability, and 25% had depression.
