Aging Persons with Developmental Disabilities

Day Care for Adults with a Developmental Disability

Are you looking for a home-like day program specifically for an older adult with a developmental disability?

Lifespan’s bright, home-like day habilitation program at 1900 S. Clinton Avenue in Brighton helps older adults with Intellectual and Developmental disabilities take on “retirement."

We open doors to new relationships in a warm and supportive environment. We open doors to creative expression, increased self-confidence, and physical and mental stimulation. We promote a sense of belonging.

A typical day includes fun, creative activities such as crafts, games, music, cooking/baking, sports and recreation, volunteer opportunities and pet/music/movement therapies. We also plan weekly field trips.

Program participants must be age 45 or older and have a documented disability. They must be free of socially disruptive behaviors, and they must be continent/toilet independent and able to eat independently.

Day Habilitation is a Medicaid reimbursed service, however we also offer full and half day private pay rates. Transportation is always included. Participants decide which days to attend, but must commit to a schedule.


Do you know an aging person with a developmental disability who would benefit from attendance at a regular senior center?

Lifespan helps older adults with developmental disabilities take on everyday activities! Our unique “community inclusion” service helps developmentally disabled adults (60 and older) to take on activities at Monroe County’s senior centers. Participants are linked with qualified senior companions who provide assistance and support during senior center activities. Community inclusion program participants must choose to attend, and they should be free of socially disruptive behaviors. They must be ambulatory, continent/toilet independent and able to eat independently.

Lifespan helps older adults with developmental disabilities to take on the challenges and opportunities of aging!
