Community Day Program
Mission
The Community Day Program at Oliver Lodge is a planned program of activities designed to enhance the quality of life for residents living in the community. We provide social, recreational, therapeutic, intellectual and spiritual activities. The Day Program operates on the premise that the provision of support services will assist the aged and those suffering form varying degrees of dementia to remain in the community as long as possible. We provide respite, education and support to participants, family members and caregivers.
