  • About Adult Day Program

    The Adult Day Program serves individuals with developmental disabilities who can benefit from facility-based and CSLA programs. Each of CHI Centers Day Programs are committed to the full integration of participants into all aspects of the community and provides experiences to facilitate that integration.

     
    Adult Day Program At the Hillandale Center (Silver Spring)
    A variety of environments, established within the Hillandale Center, offer curriculum based training intended to facilitate personal growth and development. Individualized programs are designed to meet the needs of each participant and assessments are made at regular intervals to assure that these needs continue to be met.

  • Vocational Programs at Hillandale

    • Food Service:This environment is a cafeteria work setting. Curriculum includes food preparation skills, operation of the serving line, and basic kitchen maintenance.
      Copy Center Services:The CHI Copy Center offers copying, mailing and related services to the business community and individuals. Quality professional services and competitive pricing have attracted the short and long-term customers and job contracts.
      Lettershops:These shops provide opportunities for participants to learn the same skills and techniques used in mailing operations in competitive employment.
      Montgomery Workshop: This area replicates an industrial environment. Program participants focus on contracts involving packaging, mechanical assembly and shrink-wrapping.
      Basic Workskills (BWS) Shops:These shops prepare individuals to work either in other portions of the Adult Program or directly in the community.
    In all these areas, persons with developmental disabilities are prepared for supported or competitive work placements, or, when appropriate, maintained at the highest possible level in this sheltered employment environment.

  • Habilitation Programs at Hillandale

  • Habilitation Programs facilitate the development of informed personal choice, increased independence, self-esteem and social competencies.
      Senior Center: The environment of this program replicates a community senior center and focuses on nutrition, health, leisure and community integration.
      Basic Life Skills: Within this shop program participants focus on the development of communication, self-help and leisure skills. Individuals utilize augmentative communication devices to enhance their independence within the Hillandale center and throughout the community.
     
    Adult Program at Lone Oak (Rockville)
    The goal of this program is to enhance active community involvement. Participants from the Rockville area operate from this site two or three days a week and take part in paid and non-paid work, social, and recreational opportunities within their own neighborhood. Each person's interests are used to identify those opportunities.
     
    Adult Program at The Jones Center (Gaithersburg)
    The Adult Program at the Jones Center offers opportunities for persons from Upper Montgomery County to participate in supported, competitive work placements, volunteer opportunities, or vocational and habilitation services depending upon interests and needs.
    These participants are encouraged to take part in functional, age - appropriate activities to facilitate the development of social skills and to explore alternative ways to spend their days in a meaningful and productive manner.
