Goldie's Place

Day program for adults and Goldie's2Home ambulatory care program

Goldie's Place is an active Day Program for adults living in the community who have physical or cognitive impairments. From Monday to Thursday, various recreational activities are provided, including lunch and snack, and assistance where necessary. Goldie's Place provides a secure, friendly environment, promotes health maintenance, and provides opportunities for socialization and caregiver relief.

Transportation is available for people living within Hamilton, including those with wheelchairs.

Goldie's Place provides a home away from home for adults who benefit from regular interaction with health and rehabilitative professionals. Activities are flexible and varied to meet the diverse needs of our participants. Social and health promotion programs are provided in concert with the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care Adult Day Program standards.

Goldie's Place provides peace of mind for families - allowing them time for work and personal activities. Caregivers at home are afforded respite from responsibilities that can be overwhelming at times.

Goldie's Place is an integral component of the Shalom Village community and participants have access to the many services available, including The Club Fitness Centre, Bubbi Bessie's Cafe and The Classic Theatre. By participating in stimulating activities, Goldie's participants' quality of life is enriched and their scope of experiences is expanded. We are looking forward to creating many new memories with our Goldie's family.
