Overview of Options for Community Growth

Options for Community Growth is an adult day and residential care provider operated by Options for Community Growth in Hales Corners, Wisconsin, serving adults with cognitive disabilities, including those with autism spectrum disorder and Down syndrome. First licensed in January 2008, the organization has 18 years of experience in Milwaukee County, making it one of the more established adult day providers in the region. With a 30-resident capacity, the community is currently at 93% occupancy, which suggests a strong and consistent demand.

The most recent inspection in September 2023 confirmed full compliance, with all previously identified deficiencies corrected.

These issues were procedural and environmental rather than care-related, and all were resolved during the follow-up review. Additionally, no complaints or enforcement actions were recorded throughout the inspection history.

Along with residential living, day programming for adults with a range of cognitive disabilities is also provided. Other services include community participation, structured day activities, and skills development. The high occupancy rate indicates consistent utilization and strong family trust, while the organization’s long operating history points to stability and familiarity with Wisconsin’s regulatory environment.
