Balance provides a community-based Adult Day Program, Monday through Friday (8:00am-3:30pm) for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

Located in Grafton, Wisconsin, Balance’s Adult Day Program focuses on addressing the disparities that people with IDD face daily. Our goal is to improve each person’s quality of life by involving them in activities that take them out into the community at least once, and often two or more times per day.

Daily activities serve to enrich health and wellness, bolster creativity and socialization, and give participants opportunities to connect to their community through various outings and volunteer opportunities.

Program participants are supported in 1:1 care, 2:1 care (2 participants with 1 staff), or a small group of 4-5 individuals with one staff member.

Participants spend approximately 75% of their time out in the surrounding communities.

A typical day consists of:

• Arrival at Balance, social time

• Morning community outing

• Lunch at Balance

• Afternoon community outing

• Return to Balance, socialize with friends, and get ready to return home

Individuals may begin Adult Day programming when they turn 18 years old.

Balance also offers a 10-week Summer Day Program, running from mid-June through mid-August, for individuals who need assistance transitioning out of high school and into an Adult Day Program.
