Overview
Adult day services offer a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for adults with physical and intellectual disabilities. Our programs are designed to promote independence, build social connections, and provide enriching activities that enhance everyday life.
Whether it’s learning new skills, making friends, or enjoying a daily routine, participants thrive in a setting built around their needs. We also provide services that give family caregivers valuable peace of mind and time to recharge. With compassion and care at the heart of what we do, we help individuals live fully and families feel supported.

Adults with Physical Disabilities
Caring for a family member? You're not alone. Whether through birth conditions, accidents, or chronic illness, many adults and their families benefit from our services.

Senior Services
Easterseals offers a growing range of services—including adult day health, assistive technology, case management, wellness programs, and caregiver support—to promote wellness, independence, and connection, helping seniors live as independently as possible for as long as possible.
Personal Attendant Services
The Personal Attendant Services (PAS) program empowers adults with physical disabilities to live independently in the community by hiring and managing personal attendants based on their individual needs and preferences.
Respite
Are you handling your aging mother's bills? Do you take your grandfather to the grocery store once a week? Do you take time off work to drive your aunt to her doctor's appointments? If so, you are a caregiver, and many services and supports are available to you and the person you are caring for.
