BALANCE, INC. IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR PERSONS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. BALANCE OPERATES ADULT FAMILY HOMES, SUPPORTIVE APARTMENT SERVICES, DAY SERVICES, AND CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS IN OZAUKEE COUNTY.
ADULT FAMILY HOMES: THESE ARE SMALL HOMES WITH 2-4 PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES WHO REQUIRE A HIGH LEVEL OF SUPPORT. THEY ARE LOCATED IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. SOME INDIVIDUALS IN THESE HOMES MAY REQUIRE ONE TO ONE SUPPORT DURING ALL THEIR WAKING HOURS DUE TO MEDICAL ISSUES AND/OR COGNITIVE DISABILITIES. OTHER INDIVIDUALS NEED LESS INTENSE SUPPORT TO ENSURE THEY CAN LIVE IN A HOME LIKE SETTING. THE HOMES PROVIDE A SETTING THAT ASSURES PARTICIPATION IN THE BROADER COMMUNITY WHILE PROVIDING THE SUPPORT THAT NURTURES GROWTH AND HEALTH.
PACE DAY SERVICES: THESE ARE COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES THAT PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY AND SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES TO BE ACTIVE, PARTICIPATING MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH RECREATION/LEISURE ACTIVITIES, THERAPIES, SKILL BUILDING ACTIVITIES AND VOLUNTEERISM.
