Senior Day Care
Les Jardins de Chantenay extend their services to the Elders with an adult day centre. Our wish for the elderly is to have an active ageing through an engaging social community and activities… The day care centre is opened from 8am to 5pm, from Monday to Friday. Beneficiaries are welcomed for a period of half a day to several days a week.
This non-residential facility offers a safe place to be social and to participate in activities such as memory games, gardening, art-therapy, gentle exercise, musical entertainment, local outing among other things. These activities are supervised by a skilful and multidisciplinary team: carers, occupational therapist, psychologist… Also, the centre provides fresh and nutritious meals, approved by our nutritionist.
Moreover, a personalised service (wellness appointments, health services and many more) can be catered for the adult day centre users. Les Jardins de Chantenay have their heart set on preserving the well-being of their elders and their caregivers.
