Elder Programs
We continuously strive to provide our We Wai Kai Elders with programs and supports to enhance the quality of life. We provide resources, social engagement, and support tailored to their needs. These programs often include recreational activities, health and wellness initiatives, educational workshops, and community services designed to foster independence and reduce isolation. By offering opportunities for physical activity, social connection, elder programs contribute to overall well-being and help maintain an active and fulfilling lifestyle.
