Adult Day Care Center: Rules and Regulations
New online licensure and certification system for health and residential care providers
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) launched the DHS DQA Provider Portal, a new online system for licensure/certification, background checks, plan reviews, and other provider applications for certain users. Visit our webpage for more information.
We offer links to statutes and other resources where you can learn how to comply with regulations on adult day care centers in Wisconsin.
For more information see:
- Wisconsin Admin. Code § DHS 105.14
- Background Check and Misconduct Investigation
- Home and Community-Based Services Settings Rule
Adult day care centers need to be certified only if they plan to serve one or more participants with Medicaid funding.
