Day Habilitation services offer enriching daytime activities aimed at maximizing and preserving participants’ skills and abilities. The focus is on keeping individuals actively engaged in their environment and community through optimal care and support. These services are designed to stimulate, encourage, and develop personal skills, introducing new leisure pursuits and fostering the establishment of meaningful relationships. Whether it’s improving flexibility, mobility, and strength or building upon previously learned skills, Day Habilitation services provide active, person-centered support that promotes independence, aligning with the participant’s Individual Plan of Care (IPC).

This comprehensive approach includes essential components such as personal care, protective oversight, and health maintenance activities, including medication assistance. Day Habilitation services are delivered by unlicensed, Division-certified direct support professionals identified in the IPC, with the provision that personal care services do not exceed 20% of the total service provided. Additionally, flexibility is incorporated into the service delivery model, allowing for the provision of these services in the participant’s home if deemed more appropriate by the participant, their legally authorized representative, and the plan of care team. The decision to offer services at home is contingent upon the approved plan of care supporting medical, behavioral, or other relevant reasons for such a preference. Transportation is seamlessly integrated into the Day Habilitation services, ensuring that participants have the means to access and benefit from the enriching activities offered.
