About Community Integration and Day Programs
Our staff members work individually with each participant to determine their specific interests and goals, and help establish community integration outings that are unique to each participant.
Active Life Day Program staff also provides transportation from the program facility to the community activities and assists participants during these outings.

Active Life Day Program is available to individuals ages 18-59 with intellectual or physical disabilities. Participants must be able to indicate choice, participate in programming, administer their own medications, and make their personal care needs known.
