Everyone Deserves Something to Look Forward To
Our Weeknight Programs are designed for individuals with developmental disabilities and medical complexities who benefit from routine, social connection, and engaging activities in a supportive environment.
Whether it's creating artwork, playing games, cooking together, enjoying music, or simply spending time with friends, every evening is planned with safety, inclusion, and enjoyment in mind.
At the same time, families have the opportunity to recharge, attend appointments, spend time with other children, or simply enjoy a quiet evening knowing their loved one is receiving quality care.

Every program is built around the needs of the individuals attending and may include:
• Arts and crafts

• Community outings (when appropriate)
• Sensory activities
• Life skills

• Relaxation and quiet spaces when needed
Activities are adapted to each participant's abilities, communication style, and support needs.
Nurse-Led Support You Can Trust
Riverside isn't simply a recreation program.
We specialize in supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, complex medical needs, behavioural support requirements, mobility challenges, and personal care needs.
Our team understands that every person is different, which is why we take the time to understand routines, communication styles, medical considerations, and individual goals before services begin.
A Break for Families, Too
Caring for someone you love is rewarding, but it can also be exhausting.
Our Weeknight Programs provide families with a few hours to:
• Run errands
• Attend appointments
• Spend time with friends
• Enjoy a date night
• Focus on siblings
• Simply rest
Knowing your loved one is safe, supported, and having a meaningful evening.
