About this organization
Mission
To help children and adults with differing abilities achieve their dreams by overcoming barriers to living, working and learning in the community of their choice.
About
The center's adult residence program consists of six intermediate care facilities (ICFs), which are the more traditional type of group homes governed by the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD). Our intermediate care facilities are the center's larger residential facilities, with 8-12 people with developmental and intellectual disabilities living in a co-ed private home in diverse communities in Nassau County. These homes are staffed 24 hours a day, and generally have a full-time house manager and assistant house manager assigned for oversight and day-to-day operational purposes. The center strives to make each residence a true, home-like environment while actively providing programming to each person on an individualized basis. The treatment team approach is used to assess a person's capabilities and needs for medical and clinical areas, as well as independent living, and community integration skills. Goals are developed to assist each person in achieving the maximum level of independence possible, which, in turn, may help the person be able to move to a less-restrictive environment in the future. The QIDP (Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professional) is charged with the development and monitoring of the person's overall plan of care, ensuring that a person's needs are met adequately and in a timely manner. The person-centered model of administering a treatment plan consisting of individualized goals and programming, ensures that the person is an active part of the planning process to the extent that s/he is capable or wants to participate. Clinical services, such as psychology and speech services, as well as nursing services, are part of the multi-faceted approach to the life-long learning and support offered in an ICF setting. Family members are an integral part of the treatment team and are encouraged to be actively involved in the planning, and the everyday execution of the treatment plan. Consistency is key to an individual's success, therefore, the participation of family, especially while a loved one is on home visits, increases the success rate of the person. The staffing ratio in an ICF is typically a 1:3 (1 staff to 3 residents) model, with variations based on the needs of the individuals living in the home. In addition, there is a 24-hour on-call system for staff to reach program and nursing administrators in the event that additional supports are required. The ICF program provides opportunities to our residents that are 'normalized', yet may have never been available in the past, as we strive for community inclusion in the neighborhoods in which we live and work. Seeking ideas and input from all people, a wide variety of choices are provided to encourage and introduce new and diverse interests. The adult residence program strives to involve each and every person and their family members in all aspects of the person's life: seeking a higher overall quality of life through community inclusion and skill acquisition, while maintaining quality programming. The never-ending quest for helping people with developmental / intellectual disabilities and autism in reaching increased levels of independence serves as an incentive for all staff, whether direct support or administration, to provide limitless support in a caring, home environment.
