Target Audience:  Persons exploring opening an adult day center in North Carolina

Presenter:  Teresa Troup, MBA, BSW, Executive Director, NC Adult Day Services Association

The idea of opening an adult day center seems simple to many people because they feel good about helping others and they figure there is funding to pay for all the people who need and want the service. This session is designed to enlighten attendees about what is involved in opening an adult day center in North Carolina. We will discuss the business, regulations, funding and evidence-based tips for success. It is recommended that attendees review the NC Standards and Guidelines prior to the session, but it is not required.
