What is the Seniors Day Program?
The Seniors Day Program is available for seniors and adult with disabilities. The Program is designed to accommodate all individuals, as well as those who are isolated in the community, and to provide them with a social outlet. The Program will also provide families with much needed respite.
Monthly schedules are developed by the Recreation Coordinator with great assistance and support from volunteers and community members. Some activities that are done are: crafts, music therapy, exercising, entertainment, games, gardening, baking, monthly birthday celebrations, scenic drives in the Senior Services Van, and much more.
