Your Opportunity:
Adult Day Programs (ADP) are a critical part of the Alberta Home and Community Care program. Under the Home Care Service Guidelines, they are identified as a respite service; however, they provide a range of services to both clients and their caregivers. ADPs are designed for adult clients who may have physical and/or memory challenges or are living with a chronic illness. They provide purposeful activities that meet the interrelated needs and interests of clients and provide support, respite and education to their informal care givers. As such, they play a key role in allowing clients to remain living in the community as long as possible, optimizing their level of physical, spiritual, social, and emotional function.
