Adult Day Programs & Meals on Wheels
Adult day programs are an opportunity for older adults to meet other people and enjoy recreational activities away from home. Programming is designed for fun, fitness and social activity.
These programs strengthen people’s ability to function within their own home by preventing physical and mental deterioration, which so often results from social isolation and loneliness.
The service is accessed through home care services and there is a fee for this service.
