Community Care Services

Adult Day Centres

Adult day programs assist seniors and adults with disabilities to continue to live in their own homes by providing supportive group programs and activities that assist with daily activities or give clients a chance to be more involved in their community.

Activities vary with each centre. They may include:

  • personal care services, such as bathing programs and administering medications;
  • therapeutic recreation and social activities;
  • caregiver respite, education and support; and
  • in some centres, meals and transportation may also be provided or arranged.
Clients may attend an adult day program in addition to receiving other services, such as Meals-on-Wheels and home support. Many programs are connected with residential care facilities, while others operate independently.
