About Us
The solution to a need became reality in September 1971 with six clients.
They met in the basement of the United
Methodist Church.
Our service operation has now grown to six acres in the town of Mountain Home, Arkansas.
Baxter Day Service
Center now consists of
a main office/development facility of 4,800 square feet and a sub-contract
warehouse of 33,000 square feet where most work activities take place. We
offer both terminal and transitional recognized programs of habilitation for
our handicapped clients.
Baxter Day Service
Center is a non-profit
corporation, financially supported by the Arkansas Department of Human Services
-- DDS, Medicaid, sub-contracts, contributions, and bequests/wills. All
contributions are tax deductible and will help to provide quality programs
and services to the handicapped.
Baxter Day Service
Center is under the
jurisdiction of an independent Board of Directors made up of local business
people and other qualified individuals, who exercise supervision and control
of all Center policies.
Our Philosophy and Our Mission
The purpose of Baxter
Day Service
Center is to provide
developmentally disabled individuals with experiences which will enable them
to develop to their maximum mental, physical, and emotional potential -- to
help them achieve the highest degree of independence. An awareness and
acknowledgement of individual needs of the developmentally disabled person is
basic to the philosophy of Baxter
Day Service
Center and steps are
taken to meet these individual needs.
I. A support team is provided by the
Center to assess and determine the needs of the individual, who is then
encouraged to achieve his maximum potential regardless of his mental ability,
educational achievement, economic or ethnic background.
II. Other supports, such as transportation
and counseling, are provided to assist in meeting the individual's needs in
the manner most suitable for him or her as an individual striving to become
more integrated into the community.
