Many of those people will stay at home, either fending for themselves or, as they diminish, relying on the care of family and friends. Adult day care centers have been sprouting up all over the nation as an option for that latter group. An estimated 3,407 centers were operating in 2002, serving an estimated 129,500 people, according to a study done for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. More than 25 percent of those opened within the previous five years. But even with the fast pace of new centers coming on line, an additional 5,415 are needed to serve an estimated 205,770 more people."
