More about ASK Friendship Society: ASK is a Registered Charity that provides Adult Day Programs (ADPs) in Vancouver to seniors who are isolated and/or coping with chronic medical challenges. We provide virtual and out-of-home activities, programs, and social engagement as well as basic medical care that enables seniors to continue to live in their own homes and that provides respite to their caregivers. We have been in operation since 1976 and have a contractual partnership with the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority to provide ADP services in Vancouver. To meet growing demand, we have secured accommodation at two additional sites and are launching a major campaign to expand our footprint and services.
