Seniors
The Senior Program offers individuals who are 55 years and older, or who require special consideration due to health related issues alternative choices and program options that are geared more to a leisure, retirement lifestyle. The participants will have a menu of activities to consider that will incorporate both community and agency based options. Activities such as the ‘Meet, Mingle and Learn’ Drop In Centre encourage social contact and interpersonal relationships with peers. The Seniors Program embraces a vision towards integration and interaction with community programs that are geared to the aging population. This is achieved through individual’s personalized choice, access opportunities, creative options and individualized planning with the assistance of the two senior facilitators who work within the program. Overall, this approach enhances the individual’s well being through ensuing appropriate social, physical and mental stimulation in a supportive environment.
