本文旨在(a)检查不使用ADCC的原因，以及(b)探索用户使用成人日托中心（ADCC）的原因。样本包括819名受访者，其中417人是13个日托中心的用户，402人是非用户，按年龄、性别和以色列南部地区的家庭医生匹配。数据收集包括使用结构化问卷的访谈。不使用adcc的最常见原因是无障碍障碍、参与者和adcc的特征、不需要这项服务以及个人困难。使用这项服务的人报告说，这项服务改善了他们的福祉，满足了他们的需求，使他们能够建立社会关系，并减轻了家庭照顾者的负担。辅助护理中心应更能满足体弱老年人的不同群体的需要，并使那些不使用这类服务的人更容易获得服务。
The article aims to (a) examine the reasons for nonuse of ADCC, and (b) explore the reasons for use of adult day care centers (ADCCs) among users. The sample includes 819 respondents of whom 417 are users of 13 day care centers and 402 are nonusers, matched by age, gender, and family physician in the southern region of Israel. Data collection includes interviews that used a structured questionnaire. The most frequent reasons for nonuse of ADCCs are accessibility barriers, characteristics of participants and of the ADCCs, no need for this service, and personal difficulties. Those who use this service report that it improved their well-being, met their needs, enabled them to establish social relationships, and alleviated their family caregivers' burden. ADCCs should be more responsive to the needs of various constituencies of frail older adults and be more accessible to those who do not use this type of service.
