The belief that most people wish to maintain their independence and remain in their own home as long as possible is central to the Community Care philosophy.

Adult Day Services offers a friendly, social environment in a group setting for people requiring care and support, and respite for their caregivers. Our Adult Day Centre staff promote your unique interests and facilitate social interaction, helping to maintain your dignity and quality of life.
