Benefits of Day Programs

Studies show that adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who participate in a day program benefit from the support and social interaction available. At REM Ohio, we see these benefits each day as individuals explore new opportunities for personal growth and community involvement. Our flexible, person-centered services and the nurturing environment available at our locations means that the individuals we serve report:

• Improved physical, behavioral and emotional well-being
• Increased independence
• Beneficial friendships formed with their peers and staff
• Sense of accomplishment through enrichment activities and mastering work tasks
• Greater sense of community connection

Community Benefit

Each adult in our Day Programs is unique. Their skills and abilities mean that they make unique contributions to neighborhood life through work and volunteer activities. Because our Day Programs improve overall well-being for the people we serve, the need for residential care and hospitalizations is reduced, lowering costs for individuals, their families and payors.
