Quality assurance in long-term care settings requires outcome evaluation reflecting client-specific needs of service use. This study aimed to explore the clients’ needs of adult day care (ADC). Data of 360 clients from 11 ADC agencies in Japan were analyzed. Clients’ needs for ADC use were evaluated by their respective ADC staff using 17 items of four domains: “social participation,” “hygiene and health,” “exercise and eating habits,” and “family support.” The prevalence of four domain needs was calculated and the relationship between physical independency and the presence of needs in the four domains was examined by the chi-squared test. A total of 291 (80.8%) clients had one or more needs while 69 (19.2%) clients had none. The social participation need was most prevalent (270, 75.0%) and 249 clients (69.1%) had combination needs, including social participation, along with another domain. “Feeling like revisiting the ADC” was the most common need (60.6%); it was more frequently needed by those with a higher level of independence (p = 0.003). The study findings suggest that an outcome measure relevant to social participation can be considered as the most common benefits of ADC use. However, ADCs with clients who are more dependent should consider hygiene, nursing, and family support needs.
