NIGP 95226 Day Care (Adult), an Item code, encompasses meal preparation and delivery, residential care programming, personal care assistance, homemaker support, and peer mentoring services for seniors, disabled adults, and adults transitioning from the justice system. State and local governments procure under this code through counties (Hillsborough County, Baltimore City, Orange County), state health and human services departments (Utah DHHS, South Dakota Unified Judicial System), and specialized entities such as community colleges (Bristol Community College).
