Day Service Supports: 

Our Day Service options have been created to provide people with fun, meaningful activities and interactions; to not just fill the day but assist people with acquiring appropriate social and behavioral skills in order to participate in community activities and social settings.  This service is provided and funded under the DD or Developmental Disability Waiver.  

We tend to have fun each day, participating in structured Volunteer Activities at various community integrated locations.  In addition, our Habilitative Community Inclusion programs offer a wider variety of individual choice from Arts, Sports, Healthy Living, Cooking to Gardening and Recreation; as well as structured self help groups and topics lead by our Licensed Therapists each day to work toward greater levels of independence and self advocacy.  

Aged and Disabled Waiver Services or (A&D):

For people that are not yet qualified for the DD waiver, our day services accept and support people qualified for the Aged and Disabled waiver for day services.  The activities and support are the same as Community Inclusion, simply funded by an alternate source.  Contact us to inquire about openings in this category of service.  

Pre-Vocational and Supported Employment:

Prevocational Service is a habilitative service that provides learning and work experiences, including career planning, job searching and work experiences.  Where the participant can develop general non-job-task-specific strengths and skills; that contribute to future employability in paid employment in integrated community settings.

Supported Employment is an individualized habilitative service designed to help a participant obtain and maintain competitive or customized employment or self-employment in an integrated work setting. This service is provided through formalized training and supports.
