History of MADSA
The Michigan Adult Day Services Association was a voluntary, membership organization of those providing, interested in providing, or supporting adult day services in Michigan.  MADSA was established in 1978, by a small group of adult day center directors interested in networking, advocacy, marketing, sharing resources, and providing quality services while meeting established standards of care. MADSA partners with the Michigan's Aging Community Living and Supports Bureau and local Area Agencies on Aging to promote and ensure quality of adult day services throughout the state of Michigan.

Covid mandates closed adult day care centers across the state. After restrictions were lifted many adult day centers were not in positions to reopen and resume their programs and activities.  Those that did found it difficult to take time away from their centers to attend state-wide meetings.  This in turn made it difficult to compile a complete slate of officers, board members, and committee memberships.  As a result, the difficult decision was made to dissolve the association and join the MADSA membership with the Michigan Directors of Service to the Aging (MDSA) so adult day services would continue to have a voice in the state level discussions about senior service needs and solutions. Effective June 19, 2025 MADSA officially dissolved as an association.
