Adult Day Support Program

Offers day support and respite day programs in the community to adults who have health problems or problems with thinking and remembering.

Adult Day Programs are designed for adults over the age of 18 who may have physical and/or memory challenges or are living with a chronic illness. They play a key role in allowing people to remain living in the community as long as possible by optimizing their level of physical, spiritual, social, and emotional function. Adult Day Programs also provide respite and education for caregivers.

Continuing care services are available once you or your loved one have contacted and been assessed by a Case Manager.
