Therapeutic Day Centre Services

Our Services

Elder Bloom Wellness Society is building Kamloops’ first Therapeutic Day Centre — a welcoming, inclusive space where older adults can participate in structured day programming that supports physical, emotional, social, and cognitive well-being.

Our centre is currently in the development phase. Services will launch once our facility and funding are in place. Thank you for supporting our vision of helping seniors live with dignity, connection, and purpose.

Therapeutic Day Programming

Our core service, Therapeutic Day Programming, offers small-group, purpose-driven activities that enhance wellness across all domains:

Physical: Gentle fitness, balance, and movement programs designed for strength and fall prevention.
Cognitive: Memory games, problem-solving challenges, creative arts, and lifelong learning opportunities.
Social: Group gatherings, celebrations, and opportunities for connection and friendship.
Emotional: Music, storytelling, gardening, and discussion circles to nurture self-expression and joy.
Spiritual: Reflection, gratitude, mindfulness activities that honor each individual’s personal beliefs and experiences.

Every activity is guided by the principles of Therapeutic Recreation, led by trained professionals, and adapted to meet each participant’s abilities and interests.

Nutritious Meals & Hydration

Daily wellness begins with nourishment. Participants will enjoy a continental breakfast, full lunch, and healthy snacks throughout the day, along with regular hydration support.

Mealtimes at Elder Bloom are more than just food — they are moments of community, conversation, and care.

Community Inclusion

We believe every senior deserves to belong.

Elder Bloom’s programs are designed to remove barriers — whether financial, physical, or emotional — ensuring that all older adults can participate in meaningful community life.

Through partnerships, sponsorships, and a sliding-scale fee structure, we make access equitable for everyone.

Caregiver Respite & Family Support

While loved ones engage in our day program, family caregivers gain peace of mind — knowing their loved one is supported in a compassionate, enriching environment.

By offering dependable respite and flexible attendance options, Elder Bloom strengthens the circle of care for both seniors and families.

Light Personal Care

Our compassionate team will assist with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) as needed — including mobility support, grooming, toileting, or hair care.

These supports ensure participants remain comfortable, confident, and dignified throughout their day.

Accessible Transportation

To remove one of the greatest barriers to participation, Elder Bloom will provide door-to-door accessible transportation for day program participants.

Our wheelchair-accessible vehicle will offer safe, reliable rides to and from the Centre, as well as opportunities for community outings and day trips.

Welness Monitoring

Our team will provide ongoing monitoring of hydration, nutrition, mobility, mood, and comfort to ensure early recognition of changes and to promote independence.

By maintaining a proactive approach, Elder Bloom helps participants feel their best while giving caregivers peace of mind that their loved ones are safe, healthy, and thriving.
