Community Care Services
Adult Day Services
Adult day services 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.
Adult day services may include:
- personal assistance;
- health care services including nursing and/or rehabilitation services;
- an organized program of therapeutic social and recreational activities in a protective group setting;
-
health education and promotion, nutrition and bathing programs, blood pressure and podiatry clinics,
telephone checking, and counselling; and
- caregiver support, including respite, activities such as caregiver support groups, information and education programs.
Clients may attend an adult day service program in addition to receiving other services, such as meals-on-wheels
and home support services. Many adult day service programs are connected with residential care facilities, while
others operate independently.
