An investigation by BC’s Ombudsperson highlighted the serious limitations of the home and community care system for BC seniors. A more wide ranging and innovative system of care for seniors will help us move us move forward with appropriate resources to care for our elderly or unwell loved ones and will enable seniors to live more independent and healthy lives in their own homes. Alternative programs such as these will surround seniors with a community of support services, reduce pressure on family members or care givers, and ultimately reduce pressure on our hospitals; the most expensive part of our health care system.
The Adult Day Program is hosted by the nursing staff and volunteers and provides a safe and comfortable atmosphere for disabled, chronically ill, or isolated 50+ adults and seniors who are lacking support systems in their lives. The participants are surrounded by a ‘community of support’ in terms of their physical, social, medical and mental health needs – increasing the ability for them to continue to lead healthy and independent lives in their homes.
The participants share life experiences, make new friends, and practice skills that promote independence and confidence. They enjoy social activities, exercise groups, crafts, nutrition, educational sessions and some health and wellness monitoring. Meals are provided and there is no cost (donations are welcome)
The program not only benefits the participants themselves but also provides a much needed break for caregivers – should one be involved. Loved ones and family members are always encouraged to participate in education sessions and support groups.

Get in TouchThe Salvation Army needs more than financial support to further its mission. There are always opportunities for volunteers to help in significant ways, and feel good about upholding our communities’ most vulnerable people. Such activities provide a wonderful opportunity to build rapport among employees, challenge others to get involved, and partner with us to bring hope to marginalized children and their families.
The Salvation Army is an international organization that began its work in Canada in 1882. It has grown to become the largest non-governmental direct provider of social services in Canada.
