Adult Day Program

The Adult Day Program was established in response to the need for a social club geared towards individuals with moderate to severe dementia. Located in a custom-designed space within Providence Healthcare, the program was created by our expert staff to provide service focusing on family and club members.

Anyone living in the community with an irreversible dementia is eligible to attend the Adult Day Program at Providence Healthcare as we accommodate club members with various needs. Our commitment is to work together to support you.
