About us
The K-W Seniors Day Program is a not for profit, community support service Adult Day Program which provides social, recreational programs and personal support services to seniors and older adults with physical disabilities, cognitive impairments, and medically complex issues. Client services are provided 9:00am to 2:00pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays.
Staff operation hours are 8am-4pm Monday to Friday.
We currently are offering face to face group programs at our temporary space, which we lease from The Village of Winston Park, located at 695 Block Line Road, Kitchener.
We are a fully accessible facility.
Mission Statement:
K-W Seniors Day Program endeavours to provide high quality programs and activities using a client-centred approach that addresses the social, nutritional, and physical health and wellbeing of clients.
Vision:
Our vision is to maintain the independence and enhance the health, wellness, dignity, and quality of life of our clients, who may be socially isolated and have physical, cognitive, and/or mental health issues.
Goal:
1. Promote wellness and independence among community-dwelling older adults and other high-risk individuals who may be socially isolated and have physical, cognitive, and/or mental health issues so that they are able to age at home, in dignity, for as long as possible while maintaining a high quality of life;
2. Reduce social isolation of program participants by building an environment that fosters social participation and inclusion; and
3. Provide ongoing informal support to care partners to help meet the needs of clients and reduce caregiver burden.
History:
The K-W Seniors Day Program has been providing services to seniors and older adults since its inception in 1974. We are a non-profit organization primarily funded by the Ministry of Health through Ontario Heath West Region and the KW4 Health Team. The program leases space and purchases services from Schlegel Villages; however, we operate independently and are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.
