HEART Community and Adult Day Service
At HEART (Helping Every Adult Refine Transition), individuals with disabilities voluntarily enroll in a program designed to help them access educational and career-based opportunities. These opportunities are no longer available to them due to aging out of school-aged services.
HEART is an initiative of the Muskingum Valley Educational Service Center (MVESC), reflecting its commitment to supporting individuals with disabilities in achieving their goals.
Program Location
The HEART program is located at:
205 N. Seventh Street, Zanesville, OH 43701
This facility is shared with the Muskingum County Health Department and Muskingum County Child Protective Services. Situated in downtown Zanesville, the location provides individuals with convenient access to public transportation, local facilities, and work opportunities.
Participants travel to and from the program via a combination of public and family-provided transportation. Public transportation options, including services available through the SEAT website, ensure accessibility for all participants.
Daily Schedule
Participants make the independent decision to attend the program daily, which runs from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM on weekdays. Participants return to their place of residence each evening and arrive again in the morning to engage in activities focused on their transition needs.
