Commissioner Cortés-Vázquez explains the differences between NORC programs and adult day care centers in terms of their target populations and funding sources.

  • Adult day care centers are meant to serve a more informed population still living in the community, different from the typical NORC population.
  • Funding for NORC programs comes from the Department for the Aging, while adult day care centers are funded by the state.
  • The Commissioner emphasizes that these programs are not meant to be competitive and serve different purposes.
