We created the WESCO Day Habilitation program for individuals who desire to explore and discover new things. Day trips are planned throughout the surrounding communities, focusing on volunteering in business and nonprofit organizations. Our Day Habilitation services are CARF accredited.
Looking for adult day care in western Iowa? Our Day Habilitation program offers that same daily support, with so much more built in.
Day Habilitation members have their own Clubhouse in the community called, The WAVE. The Clubhouse model offers members the choice of different learning opportunities, both in-house and throughout the community, such as:
- Support for education or training for a profession
- Business partnerships
- Daily living skills
- Support for education or training to integrate with the information society (internet banking, social media, basic IT skills)
- Volunteer opportunities
- Sensory therapy
- Self-esteem building
While motivating individuals to participate in different activities in the community in which they reside, these opportunities are indispensable steps toward enriching the lives of every member.
Families, caregivers, guardians, caseworkers, and other agencies should contact Katie Schurke at 712-263-6141 or by email if they are interested in having WESCO provide services or would like to request a tour, have funding questions, or obtain additional information.
