Adult Day Program (ADP)
For the Mind, Body, and Spirit
The Adult Day Program (ADP), also known as A Day Away, offers a welcoming, supportive space where older adults can stay active, engaged, and connected.
Designed for individuals with physical frailties or cognitive challenges, the program promotes independence, dignity, and meaningful participation through a Montessori-inspired approach.
Participants take part in purposeful activities that build on their strengths, encourage choice, and foster a sense of accomplishment. From social interaction to recreational and cognitive activities, each day is structured to support well-being and enjoyment.
Our trained, compassionate staff provide personalized care and assistance, ensuring a safe, inclusive, and enriching experience for every participant—while offering caregivers valuable time to rest and recharge.
