The COVID-19 pandemic forced adult day services (ADS) to close and abruptly end in-person services to clients. To understand the effect of the pandemic on ADS, a 20-item survey was used to examine services provided, staffing, finances, and plans to reopen. Data came from 22 sites participating in the Adult Day Service Plus a national randomized controlled trial. Of the 22 ADS sites responding to the survey, most (86.4%, n = 19) closed due to COVID-19 with nearly half closing due to a state mandate (52.6%, n = 10). Most sites reported the need to furlough or terminate staff (63.6%, n = 14). Services that sites continued to provide included telephone support (n = 22, 100%), delivery of food (n = 8, 36.4%), medical check-ins (n = 9, 40.1%), and activity via Zoom or YouTube (n = 14, 63.6%). Most of these services were provided without reimbursement. Adult day services have considerable potential as a platform for service innovation in community-based services.

COVID-19 大流行迫使成人日间服务 (ADS) 关闭并突然终止对客户的面对面服务。为了了解大流行对 ADS 的影响，我们使用了一项包含 20 项的调查来检查所提供的服务、人员配备、财务和重新开放的计划。数据来自 22 个参与成人日间服务加国家随机对照试验的站点。在对调查作出回应的 22 个 ADS 站点中，大多数（86.4%，n = 19）因 COVID-19 而关闭，近一半因州政府授权而关闭（52.6%，n = 10）。大多数网站报告需要休假或解雇员工（63.6%，n = 14）。网站继续提供的服务包括电话支持（n = 22, 100%）、送餐（n = 8, 36.4%）、医疗检查（n = 9, 40.1%）和通过Zoom 或 YouTube (n = 14, 63.6%)。这些服务中的大部分是在没有报销的情况下提供的。成人日间服务作为社区服务创新平台具有相当大的潜力。
