Copernicus Lodge’s Adult Day Program is a community-based service that provides a variety of planned recreational therapeutic programs throughout the day. Our goal is to use fun and engaging activities to improve or maintain physical, cognitive, social, emotional and spiritual functioning.  

Our clients include those who have begun to lose functional, and/or mental capacity, have Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, developmental disabilities, visual problems, mental illness, living alone and in need of social outlets, and/or have caregivers who work outside the home. We also offer respite care for family caregivers.

The Adult Day Program is designed to evoke a comfortable feeling of warmth for our clients. We offer a familiar, supportive, safe, caring environment within their own cultural milieu and within their own peer group. Within the area is a separate safe drop off and pick up location, a kitchen, open common and lounge areas, a shower room, male and female washroom facilities, and a staff work area with open access to supervise clients. Security systems are installed at all door entry locations and an emergency nurse call system is in place in all public areas and washrooms.

Staff are specialized in providing this level of care and service—all client-driven, promoting the Residents’ Bill of Rights and ensuring sensitivity in respecting the spiritual, linguistic, cultural and ethnic aspects of each client’s life. All services and programs are provided in the Polish and English language.
