On a typical day, the senior clients attend groups that address healthy living skills, gaol development, nutrition education and tips on how to reduce stress. There is also more time in between activities and groups than the regular adult track. 

Each client has a personalized treatment plan and during the initial assessment process there is a diagnosis given to the client along with a detailed description of what they can expect during their stay. 

Treatment includes a series of skill building exercises and groups, mindfulness, recreation and light exercise, and pet therapy. These approaches are person centered and adapts to accommodate each client needs based on their assessment. Commonly CBT and DBT are used during treatment.
