Questions worth asking

What to ask any adult day program

These are the questions we would want a family to ask us — and any other program they are considering.

Stronger Skills, Happier Tomorrows.

Who will actually be supporting my family member?

A trained, experienced staff team who get to know each person individually. Familiarity matters — being supported by people who know you is a large part of what makes a program feel safe.

Will the program fit them, or will they have to fit the program?

Services and activities are identified with the individual and their planning team, and adjusted as goals and interests change.

Will they be included, or just present?

Participation is the goal — in activities, in conversations, in outings, and in decisions about their own day.

Is the environment genuinely accessible?

The facility is designed to be comfortable, secure and inclusive, with support available for adaptive equipment use.

Will I be kept informed?

Families and planning teams stay involved. You should never have to guess how things are going.
