Adult Day Programs
Our adult day programs help you achieve and maintain your highest level of functioning. The programs are supervised by social work professionals and adapted to the needs of individuals. We have two different programs: one for people with disability and one for people with dementia.
Day programs are designed to break isolation and reduce boredom while providing respite for caregivers. Participation in the program can help avoid early and inappropriate institutionalization.
- Program activities are conducted in small groups of 4-5 people.
- Your participation in the program takes place on the same day every week, for example every Tuesday, and for as long as you wish to participate.
- Lunch and transportation are included.
Who can participate in the day programs?
The day programs are for people with physical or cognitive disabilities who live in the Prescott-Russell area.
The programs are funded by Health Ontario and Champlain Home and Community Care Services and the number of participants is limited. You can ask to add your name to a waiting list if demand is higher than the number of available spots.
How much does the Adult Day Program cost?
- The fee is $20 per day and includes activities as well as transportation, lunch, beverages and a snack.
- The fee is $15 per day if you have your own transportation.
