Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why B is correct
Under Florida's LTC terminology standards in Chapter 627, Florida Statutes, adult day care is precisely the daytime, community-based service described: supervised health and social programming during the day with the participant returning home in the evening. It gives working caregivers reliable support without institutionalizing the insured, and LTC policies commonly treat it as a covered community care benefit or alternate care service.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Hospice is palliative care for the terminally ill, not a daytime support program for a person living at home with family.
- C) Skilled nursing facility care is residential and continuous, which does not match a return-home-each-evening arrangement.
- D) Home health care brings licensed professionals into the home; it does not provide a supervised daytime group program outside the home.
Memory hook
Daytime supervision for caregivers who work = adult day care.
