People with disabilities have the same rights as everyone else. If you’re looking for day programs for adults with disabilities near you, we help educate clients like you every day about their rights, the responsibilities associated with those rights, and the opportunities to exercise those rights as a youth or an adult.
Individuals must be included in their community through common interests, goal setting, and relationship building. We seek out community partners so that we can provide meaningful opportunities for our clients to realize their dreams.
Individuals should work towards becoming more independent through community participation. We help our clients identify areas where they’d like to become more independent, and support them in taking steps to make this happen.
Individuals who qualify for Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) or Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) services, are eligible for our Residential Care program and Community Access Supports program. Please speak to your PDD or FSCD Coordinator to find out more. For Community Access Supports please contact PDD coordinators only.

The Excel Society has a number of group homes in the Edmonton area that provide 24/7 care to individuals with various cognitive and developmental disabilities. These individuals are primarily funded by Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) and/or Northwest Territories and Nunavut (NWT), and provide them with the assistance they need in their daily lives. For each of our group homes, the main goal is to provide these individuals with a safe and supportive environment where they may engage with the community, grow their abilities and work towards greater independence in their day-to-day lives. We also are equipped with a online safe medication administration system called Catalyst, which is available in our homes.
