On our vibrant island, numerous services are essential for meeting the diverse needs of our community. Despite these many resources, significant gaps remain, prompting us to enhance the support available to individuals and families. We are proud to offer two innovative programs in our center designed to empower our members: one for high-functioning adults seeking guidance in daily life, and another dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities. These programs, while separate, share a common goal—to provide the necessary tools and resources for individuals to thrive and achieve their fullest potential.

Adult Day Programs

Adult Support Program

The supports offered in this program cater to those living on their own, who need socialization, errand assistance, and basic supports to allow them to thrive. Some main things we offer are:

In-Centre Programming

We use our in-center programming days to do a variety of activities. Wellness check-ins, cooking, budgeting, making appointments, and of course, social fun like crafts and board games are always popular.

Community Outings

We love our community! Whether we’re out swimming, participating in community events, or taking advantage of wonderful community resources like the library, getting out and into our community is always a priority.

Appointments and Errands

A great benefit of our programs is our weekly errand days! We do grocery shopping, any running around you can’t get to, and more on the days we go out. We also work with members to schedule important appointments and ensure they get there.

Adult Day Program

The supports offered in this program are designed for individuals with intellectual disabilities. We teach life skills, and offer our members a space to socialize and learn the skills they need to achieve their fullest potential. Our program offers:

Life Skills

Want to learn to cook? To budget? We can help! We design programming that teaches members the skills they need to know in a fun, engaging way.

Community Outings

Getting out in the community is important to us, and our members love engaging in community activities and resources. Swimming at Mill River is a favorite!

In-Center Programming

A favorite among our members is crafting, and it’s a large part of our programming! We also love to learn about other cultures, do wellness activities, and more.

Employment Program (Bloomfield)

Our center in Bloomfield is thrilled to be partnering within our community to find spaces to offer employment programming to our members. This gives us the opportunity to teach our clients valuable job skills, such as job training, punctuality, responsibility, and more, while fostering their independence as adults.
