COMMUNITY DAY & EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS

Building skills, confidence, and independence through meaningful work and supportive learning.

Located a mile off our main campus, Beverly Farm’s Community Day Services Center is where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities can enjoy meaningful, person-centered activities that encourage them to learn, grow, and thrive. Our program focuses on building independence by strengthening everyday living skills and encouraging social connection. This is a place filled with smiling faces, where people enjoy new experiences and a sense of belonging.
