Daybreak Adult Day Services

What Daybreak Adult Day Services does

Daybreak Adult Day Services, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit adult day care center headquartered at 7819 Rocky Springs Road in Frederick, Maryland, licensed by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to accommodate 70 participants per day. Founded in 1984 by Frederick Evangelical Church using two large bequests and incorporated in 1988, Daybreak opened to participants in April 1989, moved to its current site in 1993, expanded in 1999, and added a Maryland Department of Aging-licensed Senior Center Plus program in 2001. Since 2004, operations have been managed under contract by El Shaddai Health Care, which also manages nonprofit and for-profit medical adult day care centers in Baltimore and Southern Maryland. The current director is Christina Forbes (LGSW).

The company operates three core programs: a Medical Day Program and a Young at Heart Dementia Program, both priced at $117 per day, and a non-medical Senior Center Plus Program at $80 per day. Each day includes breakfast, lunch, and snack (on-site, dietician-approved meals); structured activities (discussion groups, games, crafts, music, exercise, outings); on-site registered nursing oversight for the medical programs; and door-to-door transportation across most of Frederick County via a fleet of 6 wheelchair-accessible buses. Add-on services — hairdressing (Dennise Gypins), podiatry (Dr. David Lieb, A Family Foot Care), and physical/occupational/speech therapy (Baker Rehab Group) — are delivered on site during program hours. Monthly caregiver support groups (virtual first Monday, hybrid third Monday) supplement the core programs. Approximately 60% of participants receive income-subsidized rates funded by grants from the Maryland Office of Health Services, the Frederick County Division of Aging and Independence, the Frederick County Community Partnership, The Community Foundation of Frederick County, Frederick County Government, and private donations; the organization states no one is turned away for inability to pay.

Daybreak is a direct-to-consumer, community-led nonprofit with no formal sales force. Enrollment is initiated by families via phone (301-696-0808) or email ([email protected]), followed by a center tour and nursing assessment, physician paperwork, TB testing, and admission agreements. Third-party payers — Maryland Medical Assistance (Medicaid), the Veterans Administration, the Department of Social Services Senior Care, and long-term care insurance — may cover part or all of program fees; Medicare and standard health insurance do not cover adult medical day care. Marketing relies on word-of-mouth, referrals from Frederick County Senior Centers and the Division of Aging, the Alzheimer's Association, and physician practices; a Facebook page; a monthly newsletter archived on the website; and a caregiver-education blog. There is no proprietary technology stack — no app, no API, no AI/ML components — and the service is delivered entirely in person at a single facility serving Frederick County, Maryland.

Revenue model

1. Adult Day Care Fees: Day fees charged per attendance day. Medical Day and Young at Heart Dementia programs charged at $117/day; Senior Center Plus at $80/day. Revenue is attendance-based, not subscription. Subsidies from grants allow income-based rate reductions for approximately 60% of clientele.
2. Third-Party Payers: Maryland Medical Assistance (Medicaid), Veterans Administration, Department of Social Services Senior Care, and Long-Term Care Insurance policies may cover costs in part or full. Medicare and standard health insurance do not cover adult medical day care.
3. Government Grants: Grant funding from Maryland Office of Health Services, Frederick County Division of Aging and Independence, Frederick County Community Partnership, The Community Foundation, and Frederick County Government subsidize program rates and enable income-based sliding scale fees.
4. Private Donations: Tax-deductible donations from individuals, corporations, memorial gifts, birthday/anniversary honors, and workplace giving programs (United Way, Combined Federal Charities). Corporate matching gift programs are leveraged. Donations primarily subsidize care for those unable to pay full price.
5. Ancillary Services Revenue: Optional services including hairdresser ($80/day rate mentioned for Senior Center Plus does not include hairdresser), podiatry, rehabilitation therapies (Baker Rehab Group), and field trips generate additional per-use revenue. Many covered by health insurance.
