The adult day program runs every Wednesday at Lloyd Watson Centre and provides a structured, therapeutic and individualized day program for adults who are living at home - either alone, or with family caregivers. Within a group setting, the Day Program offers supervised activities to assist participants in achieving and maintaining their maximum level of function, to prevent premature and inappropriate institutionalization, and to provide respite and support for caregivers.
