What Exactly Is An Adult Day Care Facility?
[edit]Referencing my previously posted article on articlebase.com, this article will serve to define for those who are unclear, exactly what and adult day care facility is, the types of services they offer, and what can be expected by registering yourself or your loved one in an adult day care program.
In short, adult day care programs work similarly to standard child day care facilities except that adult day care facilities almost always provide round trip, door to door transportation, at least one meal per program period, usually have at least one registered nurse on duty during program hours, and most also offer basic medicine dispersal procedures and minimal medical screening practices such as the taking of vial signs.
These programs are excellent alternatives to nursing homes, intermediate care centers, and assisted living facilities because they allow you or your loved ones to live at home, yet they provide necessary camaraderie, independence (when medically permissible), and a sense of belonging to a group of their peers. Adult programs also provide much needed respite for weary caregivers, sometimes even overnight, or over weekends. This allows care giving family members the freedom to still lead completely full and active lives, without detriment to their elder family members, or having to prematurely place them in nursing, intermediate, or assisted living facilities.
Much more cost effective than any nursing home, intermediate care center, or assisted living facility, adult day programs are almost always at least partially covered by medicare/medicaid and are are often completely covered by both federal agencies and most private insurance carriers.

A tag has been placed on The Evolution of Adult Day Care Is Underway on Long island, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:50, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you use Wikipedia for advertising, as you did with The Evolution of Adult Day Care Is Underway on Long island, you will be blocked from editing. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:51, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
- Attempting to erase warning messages will not make them go away, as you can plainly see. It also demonstrates bad faith on your part. You are skating on very thin ice here. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:55, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
- No, you are promoting the company, both directly and indirectly. It's obvious. Wikipedia specifically prohibits promotion of any entity or cause. Yuo have many venues available to push your cause/company. We're not one of them. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:10, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
- First of all, please stop deleting all the comments on your talk page. It makes it very difficult to maintain the continuity of a conversation, and it also makes it look like you are trying to hide warnings and such, which is seen as acting in bad faith. Second, the threats you made on my talk page are a direct violation of Wikipedia policies toward civility with other editors, and if you persist in this tone of conversation, you will be blocked from further editing. I have been an editor here for nearly four years and have dealt with many articles whose authors claimed they were not promoting anything, when it was quite obvious they were. That is the case here. Wikipedia specifically prohibits promotion of anything at all, be it a commercial business, a cause, even a charity, nor are article which advocate a certain position allowed, as those violate our policy that requires a neutral point of view. Your article obviously advocates a position and promotes a cause, so it is not suitable for Wikipedia, and will be deleted again if it is posted in much the same form, at which time you will likely be blocked by Wikipedia administrators from further editing because of repeated violations.. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 08:06, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

advice
[edit]- you do have the right to remove comments, and even warnings--but it will be taken as evidence that you have read and understood them. Please do not use Wikipedia for the purpose of promotion; accounts that are purely promotional are blocked, and the image of whatever you are trying to promote will not be helped if the articles on it are repeatedly deleted. Please Please see our FAQ about businesses, organizations, and articles like this. There is no possible way to write an article about the center in any form until it actually becomes notable and there are references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. That it ought to be notable has nothing to do with it--such is the very essence of promotion. That it might become notable when it is not yet due to open for 2 years is extremely unlikely. I do not really see you how you might write an article on green adult day care facilities, unless there is a significant literature on the subject--at present, I see nothing except advertisements for a few particular centers.
