Residential Programs for Adults with Developmental Disabilities

"All interactions with and among children, youth, adults, families and staff are based on our capacity to be open to the full range of individual needs, circumstances and potential."
— THE NEW YORK FOUNDLING VALUES STATEMENT

Aging with Love and Respect
The Foundling’s forward planning and responsiveness is evidenced by our development of facilities specially geared to meet the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities who have grown up in our system, and who require long term residential care. These 24-hour care facilities were created in collaboration with the New York State Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (OMRDD). The Intermediate Care Facilities (ICFs) and community based Individualized Residential Alternatives (IRAs) provide consumers with residential activities and support services to promote healthy and dignified lives. By recognizing the broad range of individual needs, The Foundling is able to focus and implement a personalized care plan for each consumer.
