Adult Day Program
Balance provides a community-based Adult Day Program, Monday through Friday (8:15am-3:15pm) for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) located in Grafton.
Balance’s Mission is to partner with and support people with IDD to live fully, connect deeply, and thrive in community. Our Day Program supports this Mission by developing and providing activities to promote community involvement, social roles, and skill building.
The Adult Day Program focuses on health and wellness, living skills, community giveback, art and culture, and social development.
Program participants are supported in 1:1 care, 2:1 care (2 program participants with 1 team member), or a small group of 4-5 program participants with one team member.
The Day Program operates approximately 75% of the time out in the surrounding communities.
A typical day consists of:
Arrival at Balance, engaging program participants with social time
Morning community-based, skill-building activity
Social lunch at Balance
Afternoon community-based, skill-building activity
Return to Balance, engaging program participants with socialization and skill building, prepare for heading home
Individuals may begin Adult Day programming when they turn 18 years old.

"Balance has provided me with a lifetime of memories, laughs, lessons and of course friends! I quite literally can't imagine my life without these people. They bring me a whole new sense of joy that I didn't even know existed."

“And when Balance puts on our schedule going to Ozaukee Country Fair, fishing in Blue Lotus, painting in the mural of Port Washington, Wisconsin Dells, having a blast at Chinooks game, and getting sunburned at the zoo, isn’t that what friends do? So I can thank God I have a social life at last! The laughter, teasing, affection, finding what they like, and having those serious talks about something emotional. THAT I appreciate from Balance Inc. "
- Claire, an Adult Day Program participant
