In Whitehorse, the Community Day Program provides services and support to adults with cognitive or physical impairments and to their caregivers, making it possible for them to experience an optimum quality of life while continuing to live in the community.

The goals of the program are to maintain or increase the clients level of independence, to prevent or delay the need of residential care in a facility, and to provide services that complement other community service providers.

When a person can no longer be adequately supported to live independently in the community because of their health needs, residential care may be considered.
