When people are looking for services, I always tell people you may need to do some legwork for yourself. Google is your best friend in finding out what is available in your area. You'd be amazed what you can find just spending a few hours researching on the internet.
My Moms DC picked her up at 8am and dropped her back home at 3. She was given breakfast and lunch. They bathed her for me and even saw she got PT.
As said, call your County Office of aging to see what is available near you. Go on-line and put in "Adult Daycare in my area". Moms was run by the County and took Medicaid.
County/transit transportation i don't think is for Mom since she suffers from Dementia. Someone would have to accompany her. Our County busses only have pick up on the main highways. The Senior bussing provided by Office of Aging are for appts and shopping. I don't think either one whould want the responsibility of someone suffering from Dementia.
We have County transport. Try your county office of aging/social services, and also call the Sr. Daycare sites. Some around my area have not opened since COVID.
You can contact your local Senior Center, they may be aware of Adult Day Programs in the area. Some Memory Care facilities will also take people as a Day Care client but they may not provide transportation. Check the local Agency on Aging and they may also be aware of Adult Day Programs.
Clay google (or other search engine on your computer the phrase "Adult Daycare Center in (insert your town). " Then call each to see what services they provide. In my own town we have a few with pickup services in special w/c accessible vans. I wish you good luck in your search.
