Adult Day Services — Sports Programs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These programs have grown out of suggestions by participants who expressed interest in learning specific skills. Each program includes skill building components through group discussions, theory review and hands on practice. Participants are encouraged to share their areas of expertise by mentoring and supporting one another.

Swimming
CHIRS offers two swim programs and has partnered with the City of Toronto Adapted Aquatics Department to offer a third. In order to address the safety and personal needs of the registrants, all individuals undergo a swim assessment prior to participating. Based on the assessment, individualized programs are developed to assist the participant to work toward their identified goals. Programs can include stroke techniques, gait, mobility, balance, flexibility and strengthening. |
All Adult Day Service programs require registration. Please contact the CHIRS Intake Department to register. Participants accessing Adult Day Service programs need to be independent for all transportation and personal support requirements, as one to one assistance is not available. Participants who require additional support are welcome to bring a family member or attendant. Please note that programs may be added or changed in response to participant feedback.
