“…Attendance improved mental health and quality of life or prevented its decline, as evidenced by reductions in depression and/or anxiety (Bilotta et al , 2010; Dabelko-Schoeny and King, 2010; Fulbright, 2010; Santangelo et al , 2012; Fawcett, 2014), improved resilience scores (Fawcett, 2014), significantly improved life satisfaction (Aday et al , 2006) and, compared with non-attenders, higher emotional, physical and overall quality of life (Iecovich and Biderman, 2013 b ), self-esteem and sense of control (Ron, 2007). Reflecting a finding that subjective variables ( e.g.…”

With a policy shift towards personalisation of adult social care in England, much attention has focused on individualised support for older people with care needs. This article reports the findings of a scoping review of United Kingdom (UK) and non-UK literature, published in English from 2005-2017, about day centres for older people without dementia and highlights the gaps in evidence. This review, undertaken to inform new empirical research, covered the perceptions, benefits and purposes of day centres. Searches, undertaken in October/November 2014 and updated in August 2017, of electronic databases, libraries, websites, research repositories and journals, identified seventy-seven relevant papers, mostly non-UK. Day centres were found to play a variety of roles for individuals and in care systems. The largest body of evidence concerned social and preventive outcomes. Centre attendance and participation in interventions within them impacted positively on older people’s mental health, social contacts, physical function and quality of life. Evidence about outcomes is mainly non-UK. Day centres for older people without dementia are under-researched generally, particularly in the UK. In addition to not being studied as whole services, there are considerable evidence gaps about how day centres are perceived, their outcomes, what they offer, to whom and their wider stakeholders, including family carers, volunteers, staff and professionals who are funding, recommending or referring older people to them.

“…(2007). Preventive and health promotion actions help optimize the elderly’s functional and cognitive capacity and further integrate them into society (Franciulli et al., 2007; Santangelo et al., 2012; Santos et al., 2012). Baumgarten, Lebel, Laprise, Leclerc, and Quinn (2002) concluded there is no evidence indicating that participation in day care center programs promotes the functional capacity of the elderly.…”

“…An adult day care center is a facility with a multidisciplinary strategy of providing comprehensive care to older adults, with the goal of disease prevention and health promotion (Iecovich & Biderman, 2012; Liu, Yap, Wong, Xiao Wei, & Chye Hua, 2015; Santangelo et al., 2012; Santos et al., 2012) or cognitive, functional, and psychiatric rehabilitation (Liu et al., 2015; Mavall & Bomalmberg, 2007; Muramatsu, Yin, & Hedeker, 2010). The day care centers in Brazil, as in other countries, seek to meet the basic needs of older adults, such as keeping them active in family life and enhancing their autonomy, well-being, and socialization (Brasil, 2001; Liu et al., 2015; Sampaio, Sampaio, Yamada, & Arai, 2014).…”

“…The aging of organs and body systems associated with the presence of chronic and degenerative diseases can lead to functional decline and may predispose the adults to falls (Grundstrom, Guse, & Layde, 2012). The day care center system can prevent those complications by providing conditions that promote the maintenance of autonomy and independence (Sampaio et al., 2014; Santangelo et al., 2012; Santos et al., 2012).…”

Adult day centers provide comprehensive care for older adults and may enhance autonomy, well-being, and socialization. This quasi-experimental study evaluated the impact of such multidisciplinary day care on functionality, fear of falling, and risk of falls in community elders. Fifty-two seniors who attended day services were followed for 1 year. During the year, the adults maintained functionality for activities of daily living, presented improvement in instrumental activities of daily living, and no longer presented high risk for falls. No association was found between the risk of falling and fear of falling, however. Results are discussed in terms of the positive outcomes of attending day services.
