Day Alternatives Program
Welcome to the Day Alternatives Program
Our Day Alternatives Program is a comprehensive and cohesive service tailored to the unique needs of adults with developmental disabilities. This program offers a variety of activities that provide both on-site and community-based experiences. Individuals accessing our services have the freedom to choose activities that resonate with their interests and preferences, fostering a sense of autonomy, purpose, and self-determination.
Operating out of a wheelchair-accessible facility in N.E. Calgary, our center serves as a supportive hub for individuals and staff to plan activities — both long-term and daily. It provides a safe, inclusive space that allows us to cater to individual needs, especially on days when community engagement may pose challenges due to specific behavioral or environmental concerns.
Program Overview
At Wow Deluxe Care, our Day Alternatives Program focuses on helping participants develop life skills, engage meaningfully in their community, and enjoy a balanced, fulfilling routine. Each day brings new opportunities for social interaction, personal growth, and learning — guided by trained, compassionate staff who ensure safety and comfort throughout.
Program Highlights
We offer flexible community engagement opportunities because we believe that active participation enhances overall well-being. Our program includes community-based activities that promote social integration, communication, and skill development. Every plan is developed with careful consideration to ensure that participants are supported in pursuing their personal goals and preferences.
Comprehensive planning is at the core of our approach. Each individual accessing our services has unique needs, strengths, and aspirations. Our staff collaborate closely with participants and families to design structured routines and meaningful experiences that promote independence and confidence.
Primary Areas of Focus
1. General Education and Interest:
We provide opportunities for continuous learning, exploration, and self-expression. Activities are designed to reflect a wide variety of interests — from creative arts and wellness to recreational outings and personal skill-building.
2. Employment Preparation and Volunteering:
We support individuals in developing the skills necessary for future employment or volunteer roles. Our team helps participants build confidence, work habits, and community awareness that prepare them for real-world opportunities.
Our Approach
At Wow Deluxe Care, we approach our Day Alternatives Program with a commitment to individual success. We take the time to understand each participant’s goals, strengths, and support needs. Our process includes identifying needs, developing personalized plans, and implementing strategies that encourage independence, skill growth, and active community participation.
Our ultimate goal is to empower individuals to live their lives with greater independence, confidence, and engagement — every single day.
