Reimagining Community Day Services,

Around the world, many struggled to adjust to the realities of a global pandemic. But in the Envision Unlimited universe, we saw an opportunity to reimagine, reinvent, and reshape our community day services offerings. The changes we created are not only dramatic; they are engaging and popular. Our new Adventures, Expeditions, and Neighbors programs give our members more choices, more independence, and enables them to be integrated into the community more organically than ever before.

This “new normal” in our Community Day Services reinforces our mission, sharpens our vision, and our staff and members love it!

• Members attend social or cultural outings in addition to those initiated by their day programs.

• Outings can occur in the evenings or during weekends anywhere in the city.

• Outings are planned by members and enable them to meet with friends, like others their age.

• They choose a meeting place—and arrive and depart independently rather than as a group.

• Members visit each other’s communities and discover what makes them unique.

• The program also encourages members to explore their own communities, meet small business owners and workers.
