IN Program

Your weekly schedule is up to you and your family and what works best. All we ask is that you select how many days per week and what you would like for the days to be. Ex. If you chose to come 3 days per week you could select Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays as your scheduled days.

We typically take our groups on outings 1-2 each week, these include special trips to places like the Zoo, Science Center, Parks, Museums, Theaters, Sporting Events, etc., and frequent trips to the library, grocery store, and more as we work on building skills to become more independent.

We prioritize the physical health and wellbeing of our participants and place a heavy emphasis on incorporating physical exercise into our daily program plans. Because our programs are housed within the J complex, we are able to access a state-of-the-art fitness facility on a daily basis. The J’s full-service fitness facility is equipped with basketball, racquetball, and pickleball courts, indoor and outdoor pools, indoor walking track, dance, yoga, and cycling studios, as well as a wide range of weight and exercise equipment.

During our enrollment process we work with each participant and their family to identify and establish individualized goals that the participant desires to work on while attending the program. Typically, individual goals will focus on building skills in the areas of communication, finance management, socialization, household management (cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc.) time management, health & wellness, self-determination, confidence, and more.

We’d love to introduce you to our Adult Day at the J Family. Make a reservation for a tour, stay for lunch, and meet the caring staff who make the ADJ the special place that it is.
