National Adult Day Services Association (NADSA)

What National Adult Day Services Association (NADSA) does

National Adult Day Services Association (NADSA) is a U.S. nonprofit professional association founded in 1978 and headquartered in Fairfax, VA. It is the only national association solely dedicated to the Adult Day Services (ADS) industry, serving as the unified voice for ADS providers, caregivers, and researchers through advocacy, professional development, and standards-setting activities.

NADSA's core offerings include a recurring membership program (with provider, institutional/academic, and strategic partner tiers), an annual national conference (the only national event dedicated to ADS), ongoing webinars and virtual events, member forums, an advocacy toolkit, and a national data collection and outcomes standardization project. A consumer-facing center locator tool routes caregivers to member ADS centers by state, city, or zip code. NADSA also operates a South Carolina Chapter and works with State Association Partners across the United States. Its technology footprint is modest: no proprietary software platform, no API, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, though it partners with technology vendors (StoriiCare, Collabrios, Paychex/NADSA Solutions) that provide specialized software and services to ADS providers.

NADSA's business model is membership-driven, with recurring membership dues supplemented by annual conference registration fees and strategic partnership/sponsorship revenue from vendors serving the ADS industry. It reaches providers through its website, social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter), email newsletters (The Voice Archives), webinars, and its annual conference. With 11 employees and no disclosed revenue, the organization operates as a lean association reliant on a distributed base of ADS providers, caregiver referrals, and a curated vendor partner ecosystem rather than enterprise contracts or venture funding.
