Day Care Program at the Silver Rehabilitation Center

The Day Care Program at the Silver Rehabilitation Center is designed for individuals with intellectual disabilities and multiple impairments. In addition to maintaining acquired skills, the program also focuses on developing new abilities.

Participants attend the Center Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 2 PM, with transportation to and from the Center being arranged individually. Currently, the day care program operates with one group of users.

On a daily basis, the program is led by a work instructor/educational rehabilitator and a caregiver, while other professionals, such as psychologists, social workers, and assistance dog trainers, contribute to different aspects of the program.
