What is an Adult Day Program?
Adult Day Programs (ADP) offer wellness and health promotion services for individuals living in the community and are over 65 years of age. The Father Lacombe Adult Day Program provides up to six hours of wellness programing each day. The program operates Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm and from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm each Wednesday.
