The development of day care services within Northern Ireland began in earnest in the 1970s. Initially this form of care was designed to provide sheltered workshops for adults with learning disabilities, but as the concept of day care developed, other user groups began to be catered for, with older people becoming the predominate group. This paper defines day care in the modern context, using three components: who; what; and the setting. ‘Who’ is defines as: adults; have care needs as a result of physical or cognitive impairment; socially isolated; and at risk. ‘What’ is defined as assessment; structured programme; supervision; assistance with personal care or other daily living activities; rehabilitation or treatment; social opportunities/social inclusion; emotional support; promotion of educational, training or employment opportunities; respite for carers. The ‘Setting’ is defined as: non-residential and non-domiciliary; statutory, voluntary, independent sector; some communal element of care; combination of ‘centre-based’ and ‘community- based’ services. This paper suggests that this definition developed by the National Adult Day Services Association would appear to offer the most comprehensive and reflective definition of day services and is one which can be applied to any adult service user group.
