Activities of Daily Living

Activities of Daily Living provides the opportuntity for participants to develop daily living skills to live more successfully in the community and lead a healthier lifestyle.

What Do We Do in Activities of Daily Living?

The program teaches skills in the areas of:

• nutrition
• cooking
• budgeting and money management
• household management

Activities of Daily Living is a program which is offered in 12 week sessions. Individuals interested in the program meet with the instructor before the program starts, to decide which skill area or areas they want to learn.

The program is taught with a ‘hands on’ approach.  This means participants are assisted to make their own budget which meets their needs and circumstances or if they want to learn cooking skills, they will be selecting recipes and cooking in the kitchen.

When Does Activities of Daily Living Meet? In most cases, program participants will meet once a week with the instructor for twelve weeks.  This is an individualized program which means the instructor will work on a one to one basis with participants; except for food preparation where up to four people could be cooking at the same time.  The average time for one session is 1 to 3 hours
