The Centers

Engaging. Explorational. Purposeful. Social.

Community Center
Recreation Center
Sensory Center

Our day centers started as idea in 2017. A number of the people we supported in our homes wanted more flexible and individualized day time activity offerings. From this need the Recreation Center was born. At first, this program supported a handful of people and has steadily grown to where we now support dozens of people at multiple locations.  
  • Community Center: As our largest location, the Community Center thrives on its dynamic energy and commitment to outreach. Much like the Recreation Center, individuals here are out in the community daily, volunteering and participating in enriching activities that foster independence and inclusion.
  • Recreation Center: Our very first location, the Recreation Center began as a transportation hub and has grown into a vibrant space serving over 35 individuals. It’s known for its strong emphasis on daily community engagement, helping participants build meaningful connections and experiences beyond the center.
  • Sensory Center: Designed with a more individualized approach, the Sensory Center caters to individuals with greater sensory needs. With smaller staff-to-individual ratios, it offers a calm and supportive environment while still prioritizing active involvement in the community.

"At the Community Center, I get to witness the unique strengths and talents of each individual. It's a privilege to support them as they build skills, friendships, and confidence. This work continues to remind me of the importance of community and inclusion."

"Where do I begin? The Sensory Center has been a joy that I can't explain. The atmosphere and energy is team based but feels like family. I absolutely love being here and am glad that I have built a professional bond with everyone here at the SC. #Sensory!!"

"My wife and I have a son that lives in a Discovery Living home. As part of his daily activities, he attends the DL Sensory Center Day Hab. This adds structure, routine, and enrichment to his life. It allows him to get out of the house, be active, and integrate into the greater community. And as for the center itself, the facility has been very innovative and creative in meeting the needs of its clients, is in a great location, and is staffed by people who truly care about those individuals that attend the center. The staff is so resourceful and hardworking, they continually impress me with their dedication and ingenuity."

"I like that I get to see my friend Nancy, I've known her a long time. I like going to new places, the parties, and working on my budget. I've been doing a good job working on my budget every week. I like all my staff."

"We have a great group of staff. I call them my work family. Everyone gets along well and works together. If anyone needs help, whether it be staff or individual, people pitch in. I love to see the smiles on the individuals faces and hear the laughter in the air. I hope to retire from here. I would not want to work for any other organization after having a taste of Discovery Living."
