Day Services are supports that help the person engage in community life do things they enjoy in their community and pursue opportunities for employment or retirement, depending on their age. Even though the name is “Day Services”, you can receive these supports any time of day or night, and on any day of the week. Day Services include support to help a person work at a job in the community, and the supports that help someone spend their time in ways that build on their interests and strengths, and help them reach their goals. For some people, Day Services can include using an agency day center as a base to access the community, learning skills for independence and learning skills to be used in community employment.
