Expanded adult day program supports Surrey seniors

Older adults and their caregivers will benefit from expanded adult day programming designed for South Asian seniors with 162 additional spaces per week as part of the Province’s continued investments in seniors’ care.

“Adult day programs help seniors age at home, while living independently within their communities,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “Our population is rapidly growing and aging in Surrey, and we know there’s a need for more seniors’ services. That’s why it is critically important for us to support the expansion of the Progressive Intercultural Society’s adult day program to ensure more seniors can access this service and enjoy an enriched quality of life by staying socially and physically engaged.”

The Progressive Intercultural Society’s (PICS) adult day program is funded by the Ministry of Health and contracted by Fraser Health. The provincial government will provide approximately $716,000 to increase the program’s capacity from 138 spaces per week to 300 spaces per week.
