Adult Group Day Services
Participants attend group day support services where they can increase their quality of life through building meaningful relationships in the community and expanding their social network. Supports provided are stimulating activities in the community and at the center to assist participants with developing a balance between the emotional, intellectual, and physical dimensions of their lives. While attending the group day center, participants can increase social and independent skills, engage in new activities of choice with supports and learn how to become a more productive citizen in society.
