Review the Adult Day Care Case at the end of Chapter 8 (Adult Day Care Case: Wilma and Karen) and answer the following questions in the discussion board:
Although Wilma is clearly benefitting from day care, so are Lorenzo and Karen. Should society (Medicaid) be paying for something that benefits them, even though they are not poor?
If there was not a day care center available for Wilma, do you think she would be able to continue living with Karen and Lorenzo? If not, to what type of long-term care facility would she likely be admitted? How would the cost of a long-term care facility compare to the cost of Adult day care and how would this be paid?
