What is Day Program?
Day Program at Red Roof Retreat offers social and emotional support, physical and personal care, recreation and leisure activities on-site and within the community, for young adults with special needs in the Niagara Region. Our staff are trained in all aspects of care required for those from mild to complex needs.
Who can attend Day Program?
Day Program is for young adults with special needs aged 21yrs to 40yrs. These individuals may be enrolled in other community programs and are looking for more options, or they may not be served elsewhere and are looking for an opportunity to be out in the community in a safe and supported way.

Day Program runs Monday through Friday, 9am to 4:45pm each day at our facility in Virgil known as “The Ranch”. The Ranch offers an 11 acre hobby farm complete with friendly farm animals, accessible walking trails, creek, wetlands and horse pastures. We plan outings in the community such as the NOTL Community Centre and Library, YWCA pool, Niagara Falls Bird Kingdom, bowling, shopping or other outings deemed appropriate for our clients. Clients may enrol in a part time or full time schedule to be negotiated between the family and Red Roof Retreat.
