Dementia Adult Day Program
Our Adult Day Program for people living with dementia (also known as “the Club”) is designed to support each person’s individual interests, needs, and abilities.
Club Members are encouraged to be as independent as possible, choosing their level of engagement and participation.
Our exceptional team of highly skilled staff spend time getting to know each Club Member so that they can read each individual’s cues. This care and attention to detail means that they can subtly provide the support Club Members need to have a great day and feel at home.

What to Expect as a Club Member
Club Members can expect to be welcomed into a friendly, safe and relaxed atmosphere. Register for 1 day up to 6 days a week (pending suitability/availability), with flexible arrival and departure times to accommodate each family’s schedule.

- Secure environment (that doesn’t feel confined)
What to Expect as a Family Caregiver
Family Caregivers can expect a much needed break from caregiving, while their family members enjoy a safe, friendly and fun environment.
Our collaborative approach to care means that you’ll be in regular communication with our staff team regarding your family member’s welfare and wellbeing. We’re here to answer any questions or concerns you might have throughout your dementia journey.
Being a caregiver can be tough, so don’t forget about yourself. Our Caregiver Education and Caregiver Support Groups can connect you to the services you need to feel supported, capable, and informed.
