EXploring Patterns of Use and Effects of Adult Day Programs to Improve Trajectories of Continuing CarE
This study is tracking older Canadians who attend adult day programs and comparing them to those who receive other community care. Researchers want to see whether adult day programs delay entry into long-term care homes and affect depression, physical health, and cognitive change. This is an observational study — researchers are watching what happens, not testing a new treatment. No intervention is being given; this is about understanding real-world patterns of care.
