Acquired in 2007, OE Lakeside, a 158-acre parcel of land and water on Lake Eliza, currently houses two day service programs – Enriching Possibilities and the Renewed Horizons Adult Day Center. Together, these programs serve just over 100 adults with disabilities each day.
Enriching Possibilities offers a variety of programs, designed to fit the needs of individuals with multiple or severe disabilities. Programs such as community integration, art enrichment, and life skills training are just some of the options available to clients in this program.
The Renewed Horizons Adult Day Center provides a comprehensive, structured environment to senior adults with developmental disabilities. Bingo, arts & crafts, and Wii games are just some of the activities clients participate in on a daily basis.
Opportunity Enterprises is a non-profit organization which creates sustainable life choices and opportunities for individuals with unique challenges and abilities, and currently serves over 1,000 adults and children with disabilities throughout Northwest Indiana.
