Arirang Adult Day Program
Arirang Adult Day Program (ADP) provides culturally tailored recreational and healthcare services for Korean seniors in the GTA. Registered community healthcare professionals and Korean-speaking staff provide group and individual activities that focus on physical, cognitive, and emotional health.
About Arirang Adult Day Program (ADP)
The Arirang ADP program provides Korean culture specific structured and supervised activities in a group setting for adults who need care or support. The ADP provides an opportunity for seniors to interact with their peers in planned recreational and physical activities, as well as Korean meals designed to improve their quality of life.
The Adult Day Program (ADP) ran since October 2016 to March 2020 wholly funded by donations we received from the community. However, in March 2021, our ADP partner, CHATS secured funding from the government for Wellness Program for the Korean community. Since then, we continue to partner with CHATS and Milal Church in the delivery of the ADP service under the name of Arirang Wellness Program at Milal Church with the government funding.
Features:
