Curative's Day Services programs support adults over the age of 18 in Southeast Wisconsin who are developmentally disabled or brain injured. The programs help these individuals develop the skills necessary to achieve the highest possible level of personal and community independence.

Curative offers eight adult day care programs Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at six community-based locations in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties. Curative staff members provide a variety of purposeful, goal-oriented opportunities that promote individual independence as well as offer respite to caregivers.

Day Services program activities enhance the quality of life, build relationships, prepare for and provide paid work, meet personal interests and leisure pursuits, provide for personal growth -- especially related to self-advocacy -- and promote health and wellness.

Individuals may choose daily program activities based on their interests and preferences, or they may be assigned activities related to personal program plan objectives. Typical activities may include classes such as meal preparation, home care, gardening, safety, community outings, arts and crafts and computer skills.

Depending on the needs of program participants, Curative's team members may include program coordinators, program specialists, activity specialists, certified nursing assistants, licenced practical nurses and an occupational therapist.
