048-7 Wyo. Code R. §§ 7-2 - Purpose
These program administration rules have been adopted to provide criteria for the day-to-day operations of adult day care facilities.
(a) The purpose of the
Program Administration Rules and Regulations for Adult Day Care Facilities is
to protect aged, blind, or adults with disabilities who are away from their
homes during a part of the day by:
(i)
Ensuring that the activities and services of adult day care facilities are
conducive to the well-being of the participants; and
(ii) Reducing risks in the caregiving
environment.
(b) Adult
day care is a community-based group program designed to meet the needs of
adults with physical or mental disabilities through an individual activity care
plan. It is a structured, comprehensive program that provides a variety of
health, social, and related support services in a protective setting during any
part of a day but less than 24-hour care.
(c) Individuals who participate in adult day
care attend on a planned basis during specified
hours.1 Adult day care assists its participants to
remain in the community and prevents inappropriate or premature
institutionalization, enabling families and other care givers to continue
caring for an impaired individual at home.
