Weather Policy & Updates
Montgomery County Center
Howard County Center
GENERAL POLICIES
Winter Growth operates centers in Howard and Montgomery Counties, and weather conditions can vary significantly between the two. To find out if your center is transporting participants on Winter Growth buses due to weather, please follow the protocol below.
For the most current information, check our website under Weather Policy & Updates. Updates are typically posted the evening before, but may be delayed until 7:00 AM on the day of as we assess road conditions.
Important Safety Note: Please clear a safe path for walking participants to and from the bus. Drivers are instructed not to walk participants over ice or other extremely hazardous areas.
When County Schools and/or Government are closed due to weather
Winter Growth will decide whether buses will go out based on current driving conditions AND the Center Is OPEN unless noted otherwise on our website. If Winter Growth does not send buses out AND you choose to keep your family member home, there will be no charge for the day, even if you normally transport your participant yourself. If you transport your participant to the center and home on that day, you will be charged as usual. Occasionally, we may call and offer transport to homes close to the center if roads are considered safe (even when schools are closed). If you don’t receive a call, you will go by the information above.
When the Adult Day Program is officially closed, hourly respite care is available.
This respite care is available on a limited basis for anyone able to transport their participant. You may call the Center to inquire about the availability of space in the program for the day.
