Adult Day Services

Adult Day Services help improve the health and quality of life for seniors and people with disabilities. A VIHA Case Manager will need to help you access services. 

We offer a variety of adult day services, including:

• day respite
• health monitoring
• therapeutic and recreational activities
• community bathing programs

We also support community agencies that provide outreach and volunteer services.

Adult Day Services provide:

• Socialization - stay connected to your community through therapeutic and recreational activities
• Caregiver rest and relief - give family caregivers a break to rest, reconnect with others or run errands.
  

How much does it cost?

Clients may be charged up to $10 per day to attend an Adult Day Program. This fee is for supplies, the meal and transportation. There is also a small cost for bathing services. Ask your case manager for more details.

How do I access it?

VIHA works in partnership with a number of facilities across Vancouver Island to provide adult day programs.  Access to adult day programs is through your Case Manager. For more information please read about accessing services or contact the Home Health Office nearest you.  Please do not contact the sites directly regarding subsidized adult day programs.

Private adult day services are also available in some communities. Search for adult day programs in your area on the HealthLinkBC Services and Resources listing.
