BELMONT — Holy Angels recently celebrated the reopening of its Life Choices Program, an adult day program designed to provide meaningful work and life skills opportunities for residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The program relaunched Oct. 24 in a new location on Main Street in downtown Belmont, where Holy Angels staff and residents also launched Market on Main, a shop selling takeaway food items and goods mostly created by crew members and Life Choices Program participants.
The program offers an array of activities and daily living experiences – such as cooking, financial management, creative arts, computer skills, wellness and social skills – designed to help Holy Angels residents develop personal independence and improve their quality of life.
The goal is helping people realize who they are, what they are capable of, and how they can connect with others in a day filled with opportunities for learning.
“At Holy Angels, we believe in the potential of every individual, and we are proud to provide a nurturing environment where they can thrive,” said Holy Angels’ President and CEO Kerri Massey. “Reopening Life Choices allows us to extend our services to others in the community where there is such a need. This is a transformative program that changes the lives of so many.”
