about-adult-day-care

The Adult Day Care program at Magdala House provides structured daytime support for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in a space designed for comfort, engagement, and daily rhythm.

Each day is shaped by routine, connection, and meaningful activity. People arrive, settle into the space, share meals, and move through the day with staff and peers who know them. Over time, the program becomes familiar. Faces become known. Daily rhythms create comfort and stability.

This is not a place to pass time. It is a place where people stay engaged, build skills, and experience daily life in community.

A Reliable Partner

Magdala’s Adult Day Care is a reliable source for those seeking on-site day services for adults who are intellectually and developmentally disabled.

Person-centered Care

Our focus is on personal skills and assisting our clients in becoming independent in day-to-day non-vocational activities. It gives our clients opportunities for more choices in their daily lives.

Maximized Support

Our program caters to the cognitive and physical development of the clients. We provide a community that fosters inclusion, social stimulation, positive well-being and daily activities.

Empowered Future

Through community partnerships, clients have the opportunity to volunteer, explore employment settings, and use their abilities in meaningful ways—while continuing to follow individualized service plans.
