DAY PROGRAMS

Day programs provide individuals with productive meaningful activities that include educational, recreational and rehabilitative benefits.  Frequent contacts are made to our offices inquiring about available day programs.  Daily activities are designed to improve academic skills and teach health and safety skills among other daily life skills, all of whcih will provide benefits to those enrolled.

Indy North – This program is located at 7301 Georgetown Raod, Suite 100 in Indianapolis.  The Indy North program enrolled 35 individuals for 2010.   

PALS – Participating in Activities for Livelong Success is our longest running day program hosted in our Morgan County Office at 465 S. Main Street in Martinsville.  Their 2010 enrollment numbered 43 individuals.   

STEPS – Support, Training and Education for Personal Success was initated at our 1001 Sycamore Lane, Danville location in 2007 to meet the needs of individuals seeking a safe, structured service.   In 2010, 56 individuals participated in STEPS combining other services with those hosted in the day program area. 

Indy South – Our newest location at 10 W. Hanna Avenue, hosts services to persons on the South and East sides of Indianapolis.  The Southside program enrolled 29 consumers in 2010.

Through satisfaction surveys, we learned that our consumers were interested in having activities available during evening hours so they could enjoy the company of their friends during their own time.  To meet this interest, Sycamore initiated a Social Club that hosts movie nights, game nights, dances and other activities for persons enrolled or anyone seeking this type of interaction.  There is a charge for entry to cover equipment rental, snacks and decorations to make each session special.  Events are held at different sites to allow access to individuals living in any of the counties served by Sycamore.
