What is an Adult Day Program?
The Good Companions Adult Day Program is a therapeutic, social, and recreational service for seniors who require some minimal assistance with day-to-day activities. The program is funded by the City of Ottawa, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, and United Way East Ontario.
The Adult Day Program is designed to:
enhance well-being by providing social, physical and stimulation in a supportive, small group environment
strengthen the ability to remain independent for as long as possible
provide respite to caregivers and families
The In-Person Program Offers:
opportunities to socialize and form friendships
intellectual stimulation in the form of quizzes anddiscussion groups
individualized programming and social activities in the form of Bingo, crafts, puzzles, art therapy, painting and therapeutic pets
individualized activity kits will be provided for members
chair exercises, chair yoga and Motiview by MOTITECH
a nutritious lunch and 2 snacks per day; arrangements for special diets are possible
For the safety of those that we serve and for ourselves, we will continue to require masks to be worn by everyone entering the Centre or Good Companions transportation vehicles.
