Editorial Standards

Who writes this site

Content is researched and edited by the AdultDayPath Editorial Team and published under that byline. We do not invent author personas, credentials, or job titles, and we do not claim medical, legal, or clinical qualifications we do not hold. AdultDayPath is an independent information publisher: not a licensing consultant, not a franchise, not a healthcare provider, and not a government agency.

How we source

Federal frameworks are sourced to the bodies that own them, and we link to those sources directly: Medicaid's home and community based services framework at medicaid.gov, VA adult day health care programs at va.gov, the aging network at acl.gov, USDA's CACFP at fns.usda.gov, ADA accessibility guidance at ada.gov, and the IRS for tax registrations. State-variable facts are handled differently and deliberately: adult day licensing genuinely differs by state, so where a requirement varies, we name the deciding agency and give you the exact question to ask it, rather than publishing a guessed answer or a stale copy of another state's rule.

What we refuse to publish

• Fabricated reviews, testimonials, ratings, customer counts, or success stories. We are a new publisher; until real customers choose to be quoted, no customer voices appear here.
• Invented statistics, made-up startup cost figures, or Medicaid rate tables presented as current. Numbers in our tools come from inputs you enter, labeled as estimates.
• Guaranteed-outcome language. Nobody can promise you a license approval, a payer contract, census, or income, and we do not.
• State-specific requirements we have not sourced. The deciding agency gets named instead.
• Fear-selling about aging or dementia. The families this field serves deserve calm, dignified information, and so do the founders serving them.

Dates and updates

Every article carries its published date, and a visible updated date when it changes materially. The paid Licensing Kit is a living document: purchasers keep permanent access to the current version through their original link, and corrections flow to everyone.

Corrections

If anything on this site is wrong, outdated, or misleadingly framed, email team@adultdaypath.com with the page and the issue. Corrections are made on the page itself, with the updated date reflecting the change. Agency names and links change occasionally; reports of dead or redirected links get the same treatment.

Monetization, disclosed

This site is funded one way: the one-time sale of the Adult Day Care Licensing Kit. We sell no leads, take no commissions from franchises, consultants, insurers, or software vendors, and run no sponsored placements. If that ever changes, this page and the affected pages will say so plainly.
