Adult Day Service
Adult Day Service provides a fun, club-like atmosphere where participants can socialize with other seniors and take part in a variety of leisure, educational, and physical activities that they can enjoy at their own pace.
The service is offered in a safe, secure, and homelike setting and is focused on health and wellness and helping participants maintain physical, intellectual, and social independence.
While designed primarily for seniors, the service can accommodate anyone living at home who is medically stable.
Spend a day with us free of charge to learn more about our service.
A tasty, nutritious, well-balanced lunch and snacks are provided with food choices based on Canada's Food Guide. Special diet requirements can be accommodated.
There are 10 service locations across Niagara, most co-located within our eight long-term care homes. This service is for individuals still living in the community and not in long-term care.
