Adult Day Care Clinic/Center: how many are there, and how many are in private practice?

National totals

Reading the sole-proprietor share

For this specialty, 397 of 6,942 active records, or 5.7%, carry the sole-proprietor flag. Because that field is self-reported in NPPES, it is an imperfect proxy for private practice and should not be read as a count of all independently operated centers. It also does not by itself describe ownership, staffing, billing arrangements, or clinical services.

By state

New NPI registrations by year

Counts reflect the year each NPI was first issued, among records still active today. The final year is partial: this data covers through 2026-01-11.

Data notes

• The sole-proprietor field is self-reported by the provider in NPPES and is an imperfect proxy for private practice.
• A sole-proprietor count shown as <11 is suppressed: the true value is below 11, which could include zero.
• NUCC publishes no official definition for 261QA0600X, so the taxonomy label is not a complete description of facility services.
• Counts cover active NPI records with this code as the primary taxonomy, not necessarily unique facilities, organizations, clinicians, or service locations.
• Providers are counted once, by their primary taxonomy code only.
