Maryland Medical Adult Day Services (MD-MADS)

Medical Adult Day Services are community-based programs designed to meet the needs of functionally and/or cognitively impaired adults who prefer to age at home as opposed to a congregate living setting. MADS provide essential services that constitute the social determinants of health, including transportation, nutritional meals, physical and cognitive activities, socialization, community engagement, nursing oversight, and access to therapeutic and rehabilitative services under medical and nursing supervision.

When physical and/or cognitive limitations reach a point that the individual no longer can independently perform their activities of daily living (ADLs), appropriate levels of support become essential. MADS offer a safe, protective environment for individuals who are unable to remain alone or unable to care for themselves, and provide families peace of mind.
