Adult Day Services

An adult daycare centre is typically a non-residential facility that supports the health, nutritional, social, and daily living needs of adults with disabilities including dementia, in a professionally staffed, group setting. These facilities can also provide adults with transitional care and short-term rehabilitation following hospital discharge. The majority of day centres provide meals, meaningful activities, and general supervision. The care provided is often a social model or a medical model provided in order to improve participants health and guide their progress in the right direction. Demand for adult daycare centres is increasing with the need for assistance in old age or guidance to reintegrate into society after injury, illness or addiction, and accommodation to return to their former lives or improve upon their quality of life.
