Our Society provides an Adult Day Program Monday to Friday. We offer: Daily social activities, entertainment, peer interaction, group exercise, mental stimulation, nutritional hot lunch, snacks, transportation, monitoring of medical conditions & medications, Nursing support, toileting, feeding and mobility assistance. The purpose of our organization is to provide services to our seniors who are facing multiple health challenges and assist them to stay in their homes for as long as possible. We offer our seniors a hot lunch program that provides a safe and warm environment where seniors can ensure their nutritional and physiological health is met. Elderly clients depend on their loved ones or their caregivers for meal preparations. For most, this help is limited. For primary caregivers at home, the center offers support and respite by providing an outside source of activities and assistance for their family member.
