FAQ
Who is the Hearten Day Program for?
Our Hamilton Day Program serves adults ages 21 and older with developmental disabilities. With a focus on young adulthood, we create opportunities to build friendships, explore interests, and strengthen everyday skills. We’ll discuss your loved one’s needs and goals to help determine whether our program is a good fit.
Where is the program, and what are the hours?
We’re located at 2275 Whitehorse-Mercerville Road, Suite 3, Hamilton, NJ 08619. Our program runs Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 3 PM.
What does a typical day look like?
Each day offers opportunities for friendship, hands-on learning, and meaningful activities. Participants may prepare food, enjoy creative projects, practice everyday skills, or explore the community. Activities reflect participants’ interests, needs, and individual goals.
Do you provide transportation?
Transportation is available to participants who attend five days a week and live within a 10-mile radius of our Hamilton program. Contact us to confirm whether your address is within our transportation area and discuss availability.
How is the program funded?
Our day habilitation services are funded through New Jersey DDD/Medicaid for eligible participants. We work with you and your support coordinator to review the service authorization and steps needed to get started.
Can you support someone with behavioral needs?
We have a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who provides behavioral guidance and works with our team to support participants. Before enrollment, we’ll discuss your loved one’s needs, existing supports, and goals to determine whether we can provide appropriate support.
How do you support individual goals?
We get to know each participant’s strengths, interests, preferences, and support needs. Our team uses that understanding, along with their Individualized Service Plan (ISP), to create opportunities to practice skills, make choices, and build confidence throughout the day.
How do we get started?
Start by scheduling a tour! You’ll meet our team, see the space, and discuss what you’re looking for in a day program. If Hearten feels like a good fit, we’ll coordinate with you and your support coordinator on the next steps.
