The provincial government is expanding an adult day program that gives caregivers respite while caring for loved ones at home. The program will expand the number of hours in Alberton, Summerside, Charlottetown and Souris, to add 40 more spaces each week. It's an increase from the 160 to 180 spaces per week the program currently offers. The program provides seniors social activities and personal care services, and spending on the program is expected to increase by about $180,000 from its current annual budget of $536,700. The program costs participants between $5 and $6 per day.
