Residential Services for Developmental Disabilities

Our diverse residential services for developmental disabilities include:

• Supervised Individualized Residential Alternatives – Individuals are supported throughout the day and night as they work, travel, and enjoy life in their local community.
• Supportive Individualized Residential Alternatives – Individuals enjoy independent living in the community either on their own or in a shared apartment, with training and support from our staff, based on their needs and wants.
• Intermediate Care Facilities – Individuals receive highly structured, enhanced support from a full clinical team and support staff.

Recreation and leisure activity are essential elements of well-rounded lifestyles. The residential programs are continually involved in a wide variety of activities that are governed by individual interest, choice and ability. Residents choose from a wide array of activities available on Long Island and New York City, including: an abundance of outdoor recreational and sporting opportunities, and theater.

Family settings within the residential programs allow for practice of life skills such as cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene, and budgeting. Individuals receiving services are encouraged to make choice in all aspects of their daily living routine to the best of their ability including: choosing the décor in their bedrooms and common rooms, planning healthy food choices, maintaining the home and property, and voting on their choice for group, or individual recreation and vacation destinations.

Person Centered Planning is at the heart of all activity. Empowerment at all levels generates true success. If we believe, it can be achieved!
