Adult Day Programs and Recreation

We want to provide you with programs specialized for seniors who have physical or mental disabilities.

Adult Day Programs

Adult Day Programs provide supervised and supported social and recreational activities for seniors who are physically frail or have dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. They typically encourage light physical activity and mental stimulation as well as provide nutritious meals and some personal care. Many agencies provide transportation to and from the program, ranging in cost from $2 – $9.50, depending on location and required service. A few agencies offer supervised and supported overnight accommodation services as well.

Day programs range in cost from $6.50 – $46 per day, with many including meals. Transportation costs are often additional but sometimes included. Some agencies also offer half-day programs. You can contact the agencies directly for details on the admission process, waiting lists, available subsidies and accessibility of the location. Admissions to Adult Day Programs usually require a client assessment, which includes completing an application and a medical form. Community Care Access Centres also refer clients to Adult Day Programs.
