Our day habilitation services help individuals participate in activities that interest them, from hobbies and recreation to volunteer work. In community versus classroom settings, adults learn skills such as: self-advocacy, maintaining appropriate boundaries with others and adapting to new situations. Residential programs Devereux New York operates several types of residences that provide the maximum amount of independence consistent with each individual’s strengths and abilities. All residences provide a homelike environment with a therapeutic and highly-personalized approach to care. We offer Individual Residential Alternatives (IRAs) in Columbia, Dutchess, Ulster and Westchester Counties, for adults ages 21 and older. Between four and seven individuals live in each home; staff are present whenever residents are at home. Note: For those individuals working toward greater independence – and whom have been granted “home alone time” – less supervision is required. In addition, we offer supported apartments, where adults live independently and receive 20-30 hours a week of care by our professional team members in accordance with their Individual Service Plans (ISPs) or Lifeplan. To support a sense of independence, all residents are provided with guidance and training in areas related to personal hygiene, meal preparation, household chores, healthcare, personal finance, recreation, social skills, and travel. The program also includes community integration, social skill development, community-based leisure-time activities, and opportunities for volunteer work, supported work and competitive employment. Our overall goal is to help the individuals we serve to pursue their dreams, support the choices they make for themselves, and assist them in having as much control over their lives as possible.
