Adult Day Program (ADP) volunteers provide assistance, companionship and encouragement in a group setting for adults with varying degrees of dementia and Alzheimer’s, to help them achieve and maintain their maximum level of functioning, to prevent premature and inappropriate institutionalization, and to provide respite for caregivers. Components of the Adult Day Program include planned social, recreational and physical activities, as well as meals and companionship. Volunteers require patience, dependability, a sense of humour, and compassion. ADP volunteers must be 15 years of age or older and available from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. one day per week (Monday to Saturday). Learn more about the Adult Day Program here.
