The Anchor Club
The Anchor Club is an adult day program, recreation and learning centre for adults with developmental disabilities. Based in Port Colborne, The Anchor Club strives to provide meaningful person centered life skills training, relationship building and an appreciation for community.
The Anchor Club is open Monday to Saturday 9-4. The cost of the program includes activities and lunch. Members jointly decide what activities will be included on the schedule each month and a calendar is distributed.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday we are open to male members only. Each morning we offer a fitness support program and every afternoon we participate in a recreational activity in the community.
Tuesdays and Thursdays we are open to everyone. Each morning we enjoy the amenities available at the club and every afternoon we participate in a recreational activity in the community.
Saturdays are ladies only. A flyer is circulated monthly with the list of upcoming activities.
The Respite Care Program is based out of our barrier free facility in Port Colborne, in the members home or in the community.
This overnight service provides caregivers with peace of mind and a break from their caregiving responsibilities. They can be confident that their loved ones are engaging in individualized activities and receiving quality supports.

Community supports could include volunteering, employment skill building, activities of daily living, medical appointment supports or recreational activities.
