Adult Day Center

Easterseals Northeast Indiana’s Adult Day Center in Fort Wayne provides a welcoming environment where adults age 18 and older with higher support needs can learn new skills, socialize with peers, and explore the community. Our evidence-based programs and caring staff ensure every participant has opportunities to thrive.

The Easterseals Difference

• Personalized, Fluid Participation
  Activities, classes, and outings at Easterseals Northeast Indiana are thoughtfully planned around each individual’s interests, preferences, and support needs. Participants can choose which groups or sessions to join, ensuring they remain engaged, motivated, and empowered to pursue activities they enjoy.

• Community Engagement
  We actively partner with local venues—including community centers, libraries, the YMCA, and more—to bring enriching experiences to our participants. Outings to festivals, seasonal events, plays, movies, the zoo, the conservatory, and other local attractions foster independence, social skills, and a strong sense of community connection.

• Robust On-Site Programming
  Our daily calendar is packed with life-skills classes (like gardening, cooking), creative workshops (art, music, movement), and social groups, all led by community instructors and Easterseals staff. These offerings are designed to build confidence, promote independence, and celebrate every participant’s unique talents.

• Themed Events & Celebrations
  From seasonal holidays to monthly themes, our center is always filled with festive decorations and lively events. These celebrations spark excitement, boost morale, and encourage meaningful participation all year long.

• Nutritious Meals & Snacks
  We provide a hot, balanced lunch and an afternoon snack each day, ensuring participants are fueled and ready to make the most of their day. For those with specialized dietary requirements, we gladly accommodate by welcoming them to bring their own meals and snacks.

• On-Site Health Clinic
  Operated by Rounding Providers, our on-site health clinic is available to all Adult Day Center attendees. This convenient resource ensures that health and wellness needs are addressed proactively and promptly, supporting overall well-being and peace of mind.
