Our organization offers the following programs & services, for working-age adults, seniors, and other people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.

Community Habilitation: Building Skills and Confidence

Our Community Habilitation program goes beyond basic care—it’s about empowering individuals. Here, we focus on real-world skill development, including financial management, health and wellness, and navigating public transportation. We also emphasize social skills and community engagement, ensuring each person can thrive in diverse settings.

Senior Day Habilitation: A Vibrant Community for Seniors

Our seniors deserve a program that caters to their unique needs and interests. The Senior Day Habilitation program combines leisure and learning—art, music, gardening, and more, all within a supportive community. We ensure that each day is filled with activities that promote physical health, mental well-being, and social interaction.
