Overview of Have-A-Heart Adult Day Care

Have-A-Heart Adult Day Care, a licensed adult day center managed by Have-A-Heart Inc. since April 2008 in River Falls, Wisconsin, provides person-centered services for adults with disabilities in Pierce County. The center has nearly 18 years of experience serving the River Falls area, making it one of the longest-operating adult day providers in the region. The community is accredited by the State of Wisconsin and accepts Medicaid.

The community is licensed to serve 30 participants, providing a focused, more intimate environment. Along with the adult day center program, a weekend respite program on Saturdays from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM, and specialized summer programming are also provided. This is an uncommon combination of services that extends caregiver support into evenings and weekends when many other adult day providers are closed. The center also remains open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

The center also stands out for its physical amenities, including an adaptive gym, communal spaces, and dedicated areas for cooking and activities. Rest areas equipped with private beds are also available. This range of amenities supports diverse programming and comfort needs and reflects the community’s commitment to providing a meaningful daily experience for participants rather than just basic supervision.

Providing a well-curated daily programming in a supportive, community-oriented setting, Have-A-Heart Adult Day Care is an ideal choice for those with physical or developmental disabilities who prefer a smaller environment. The weekend respite program is particularly appealing for family caregivers who require consistent support beyond the traditional weekday schedule.
