Adult Day Program

Adult Day Program

Helping seniors stay active, sociable and healthy

In September 2012, Wing Kei introduced the Adult Day Program (ADP), an initiative geared towards creating opportunities for socialization, recreational activities and health monitoring for seniors who live at home.  Each client has an individualized care plan, created together by the client/family members and our Care department, to meet his/her care needs.  Despite the short duration of time since the launch of the program, we have witnessed an immense improvement in our clients’ mental, physical and social abilities.
