Clearbrook’s Community Day Services programs offer an array of weekday services to adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities. By providing a variety of opportunities, our clients are able to expand their interaction with their peers, their community, and the world at large within structured settings. An individualized program plan is developed around each client, resulting in services that are a blend of instruction, interventions, activities, and experiences. Participants are encouraged and supported in expressing their interests in the planning of services.

Community Day Services provide participants with opportunities to continue to learn based upon their interests and abilities. Emphasis is placed on socialization and community participation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are your hours of service? Community Day Services offers programming from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
2. Can family members visit the day program? Absolutely. Clearbrook understands and believes that family support is a huge key to success in working with people with disabilities. Families are encouraged to participate in the programming options at Day Services.
3. What about transportation to the day program? Transportation is one of the most common challenges we face for our clients. Clearbrook has a limited ability to provide transportation. If Clearbrook transportation is not available, Clearbrook staff will work with the families and clients to explore the array of transportation options available (such as PACE programs, local township transportation options, etc.).
4. Do participants leave the facility at all during the day? Yes. Community outings play an integral part of the programming at Community Day Services. Part of our mission is to assist people in becoming more independent, and we believe that we need to access the general community in order to make that happen.
