By the year 2000 13% of the general U.S. population will be made up of those over 65. Many states are seeking cost-effective ways to provide structure and some assistance for these individuals to help keep them in their own homes and out of institutions. The National Institute on Adult Daycare (NIAD) defines adult daycare as "a community-based program designed to meet the needs of minimally impaired adults through an individualized plan of care for part of a 24-hour day." Between 1980 and 1990 the number of centers grew from 1,200 to 3,000; by the year 2000, NIAD estimates that there will be a need for 10,000 adult daycare centers. The authors advise interested nurse entrepreneurs to consider the potential for establishing and running such centers and provide a roadmap for developing a business plan. A careful market analysis in your selected community should be the first step in the process of developing a workable business plan.
到2000年，美国65岁以上的老年人将占总人口的13%。许多州正在寻求经济有效的方法，为这些人提供组织架构和一些帮助，以帮助他们留在自己家中，而不是住进养老院。国家成人日托研究所（NIAD）将成人日托定义为“一种基于社区的项目，旨在通过24小时个性化护理计划，满足轻度受损成年人的需求”。1980年至1990年间，成人日托中心的数量从1200个增加到3000个；到2000年，NIAD估计将需要10000个成人日托中心。作者建议感兴趣的护士创业者考虑建立和运营此类中心的潜力，并提供制定商业计划的路线图。在你所选社区进行仔细的市场分析，应该是制定可行商业计划过程中的第一步。
