Establishes simplified eligibility criteria for Medicaid enrollees to receive adult medical day care services, requiring only that they need assistance with at least one activity of daily living, have a physician's recommendation, and provide medical history and physical examination records

Defines "activity of daily living" to include dressing, bathing, toilet use, transfer, locomotion, bed mobility, and eating

Defines "adult medical day care" as community-based group programs providing health, social, and support services to functionally or cognitively impaired adults for less than 24 hours per day

Directs the Commissioner of Human Services to apply for necessary State plan amendments or federal waivers to implement the revised eligibility standards

Aims to expand access to adult medical day care by easing eligibility requirements, allowing more individuals to receive services in community settings rather than institutions
