Our Monday Adult Day Program group does a regular program “Painting with Acrylics for Beginners”. Usually everyone does an individual painting, but these were done as group paintings. One (Blue painting) represents the present and what the group feels about ADP – fun, love, kindness. The other (Yellow) painting represents the future. The circle at the centre represents the unknown and the rest is what the participants hope for – wisdom, sense of humour, aging in place with resources needed etc. Pictures below is Martin (left) our dedicated volunteer for the Adult Day Program and Heather, who is our wonderful ADP Coordinator.

Every month we plan for a monthly birthday party in the Tallman Multi-Purpose Room. We invite and transport residents living on each unit, assist in feeding residents who need assistance with the assistance of health care aides, and enjoy live entertainment. The date for the party is placed on the Therapeutic Recreation Program Calendars and posted on the unit birthday poster.
