Upcoming Events at Janus Developmental Services
Janus Developmental is excited to expand offerings in Fishers.
It is located at SouthPointe Village Apartments, near downtown Fishers. SouthPointe is an affordable housing apartment building with about 20 apartments designated for people with disabilities. Janus has a room near the lobby with a working space, a kitchenette, and a sensory area. The apartment building has several amenities that Janus can use as well. They include a full kitchen, exercise room, 3rd floor deck, and a craft room.
The program a SouthPointe will start with 2 groups with a 4:1 ratio of participants to caregivers and will focus on community involvement. Whether it be volunteering opportunities or having lunch at a favorite restaurant, the schedule will be made around the interests of the people supported. An example is a person we support who loves music, so they’ve been checking out local music stores and learning about musical instruments. A monthly calendar will be given to each participant so they know what to expect or what they will need to bring for each day. Activities on the November calendar include visiting the library, bowling, job skills activities, cooking classes and volunteering at Carmel Friends Church.
We are currently enrolling people 18 or over with a disability. You can reach out to Abbie McIntyre, Community Supports Manager, at amcintyre@janusinc.org, if you’re interested in learning more.
