Those services are then billed to the state government and covered by federal and state tax dollars.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The costs have been rising \u2014 especially in New York state, a CBS News data analysis found. Medicaid paid adult daycare providers $3.35 billion nationwide in 2024, and 17% of that money went to the 375 facilities across New York state \u2014 more than any other state. New York spending on these adult daycares ballooned in recent years, with the bill to taxpayers nearly quadrupling from 2018 to 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Those numbers have not gone unnoticed. Investigations are underway into some social adult daycare centers across New York with potential federal action against them anticipated, CBS News has learned.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The epicenter of the spike in spending is the bustling neighborhood of Flushing, Queens, the densest cluster of social adult daycare facilities in the country: 64 within a one-mile radius, according to a CBS News analysis of Medicaid data.<\/p>\n<p>The facilities in Flushing bill Medicaid for the equivalent of more than 90% of local Medicaid-eligible seniors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/01\/492dfe68-6ce5-4ccc-a60a-d4a3788a7777\/thumbnail\/620x484\/9f7eca0795ebdbd2917cbc8dd55e36fe\/flushing-maps2.jpg#\" alt=\"flushing-maps2.jpg \" height=\"484\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/01\/492dfe68-6ce5-4ccc-a60a-d4a3788a7777\/thumbnail\/620x484\/9f7eca0795ebdbd2917cbc8dd55e36fe\/flushing-maps2.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/01\/492dfe68-6ce5-4ccc-a60a-d4a3788a7777\/thumbnail\/1240x968\/31aafd8e90b8958fb4367b04afd826e4\/flushing-maps2.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Maps show locations of social adult daycare centers in New York City, including 64 in the neighborhood of Flushing, Queens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS News<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Enrollment at these facilities is far outpacing the population growth for seniors in the area, CBS News found.\u00a0 From 2018 to 2024, the neighborhood&#8217;s Medicaid-eligible senior population grew about 20%, the same as the rest of the country. But the number of seniors that its social adult daycares billed for nearly quintupled \u2014 up 390%.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So the question for investigators becomes: are facilities legitimately billing for so many more people here or are they submitting fraudulent claims?<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the New York State Department of Health told CBS News the state has taken action in the past to root out abuses in Medicaid, including instituting a new tracking process and enhanced oversight and compliance reviews. Since 2021, the agency has referred 387 centers for investigation and a third of those were elevated to the Office of the Attorney General for law enforcement action, the spokesperson said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Governor and the Department have taken strong action in recent years to control costs and root out abuses while preserving and improving quality of care,&#8221; the spokesperson said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Allegations of fraud in Medicaid and other federal programs have drawn increased attention in recent years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/projects\/2026\/hospice-fraud\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CBS News investigation<\/a> earlier this year found an extreme concentration of taxpayer-funded hospices in Los Angeles County, with hundreds of hospice offices showing multiple red flags for fraud.
