TAPS: Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors Connection, Care, & Community
via Little Mountain Neighbourhood House 🏠️ | Poster
TAPS is an adult day program that supports older adults who may no longer be able to build community on their own. Through adapted recreation and leisure activities, participants connect, share, and thrive in a welcoming, inclusive space - enriching physical and mental well-being.
We’re especially committed to making this program inclusive and affirming for all seniors—recognizing the diverse experiences and identities of older adults, including those who are 2SLGBTQIA+, newcomers, Indigenous, or living with disabilities or mild to moderate dementia.
🏳️🌈 Over the past year, my work with the Rainbow Wisdom Café [ image ] has reinforced how vital it is to create spaces where 2SLGBTQIA+ older adults can show up fully, feel seen, and age with dignity. TAPS is grounded in that same spirit of connection, care, and celebration—for everyone.
TAPS is free of charge (donations welcome) and prioritizes support for older adults who:
Are socially isolated
Experience emotional or physical challenges
Are living with mild to moderate dementia
Belong to underserved communities, including 🏳️🌈 2SLGBTQIA+, newcomers, and Indigenous populations
We look forward to working together to make aging a more joyful, connected, and inclusive experience for all.
