CARDINAL HAYES HOME CAMPUS FACILITY IS LOCATED IN MILLBROOK, NY, A SMALL VILLAGE 75 MILES NORTH OF NYC AND 15 MILES EAST OF POUGHKEEPSIE. THE CAMPUS IS ON 62 ACRES OF LAND IN A SERENE SETTING IN CENTRAL DUTCHESS COUNTY AND IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE VIA MAJOR ROUTES. A TOTAL OF 110 YOUNG PEOPLE RESIDE IN CARDINAL HAYES FACILITIES. ON OUR MILLBROOK CAMPUS, THERE ARE SEVEN HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE RESIDENCES. SIXTY CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS ARE IN THE MILLBROOK ICF (INTERMEDIATE CARE FACILITY). OUR COMMUNITY ICFS ENCOMPASS FIVE RESIDENCES IN VARIOUS PARTS OF DUTCHESS COUNTY. TEN YOUNG ADULTS RESIDE IN EACH OF THESE HOUSES. OUR RESIDENCES ARE TRULY "HOMES" - INDIVIDUALLY DECORATED AND APPROPRIATELY FURNISHED FOR THE COMFORT AND SAFETY OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE DISABLED. UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A LICENSED DIETITIAN, NUTRITIOUS MEALS MEET EACH INDIVIDUAL'S SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS. EVERY PHASE OF A CHILD'S CARE AND TREATMENT IS IMPORTANT. OUR STAFF MONITORS EACH YOUNG PERSON'S DEVELOPMENT AND WELL BEING THROUGH AN INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT PLAN. SERVICES PROVIDED BY CHHC INCLUDE SOCIAL WORK, FAMILY COUNSELING, MEDICAL AND NEUROLOGICAL SERVICES, DIETARY PLANNING, BEHAVIORAL PROGRAMMING, PHYSICAL THERAPY, SPEECH THERAPY, AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY. SOCIAL AND RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES ARE ALSO AN IMPORTANT PART OF EACH RESIDENT'S PLAN OF CARE. CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES NEED A CONTINUUM OF CARE THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES, AND WE WORK WITH FAMILIES TO MOST APPROPRIATELY MEET THE SPECIAL NEEDS OF THEIR CHILDREN. AT CARDINAL HAYES HOME, THE GOAL IS TO MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF EACH RESIDENT. THIS PLANNING CONTINUES THROUGH YOUNG ADULTHOOD. PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS ARE GIVEN A NUMBER OF OPTIONS TODAY. SOME FAMILIES ARE ABLE TO HAVE THEIR CHILD LIVE AT HOME - OTHERS FIND IT NECESSARY TO SEEK RESIDENTIAL SERVICES. PLACING A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD IN SOMEONE ELSE'S CARE IS A DIFFICULT AND OFTEN PAINFUL DECISION. WE HELP PARENTS CHOOSE THE OPTION THAT IS BEST FOR THEIR CHILD AND THE FAMILY, WHETHER IT IS PLACEMENT AT CARDINAL HAYES HOME OR EXPLORING OTHER ALTERNATIVES. THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR HOMES HAVE BEEN ENTRUSTED TO OUR CARE, AND EACH ONE IS TREATED WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT. FAMILIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE AN ACTIVE PART IN THEIR CHILDREN'S LIVES AND IN PLANNING FOR THEIR CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS. THE AGENCY HELPS FAMILIES ARRANGE VISITS WITH THEIR SON OR DAUGHTER AT HOME AND WELCOMES FAMILY VISITS TO CARDINAL HAYES HOME.

OUR MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OVERSEES THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE RESIDENTS AND WORKS IN CONCERT WITH MAJOR FACILITIES FOR EVALUATION AND TREATMENT OF SPECIAL CONDITIONS. THERE IS 24 HOUR STAFFING IN ALL OUR HOMES. IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT THE SPIRITUAL FORMATION OF A CHILD IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF HIS OR HER DEVELOPMENT. NON-DENOMINATIONAL PRAYER SERVICES APPROPRIATE FOR YOUNGSTERS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES ARE HELD SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR. RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES ARE PLANNED IN COOPERATION WITH AREA CHURCHES AND SYNAGOGUES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE WISHES OF THE FAMILY AND, WHERE APPROPRIATE, THE INFORMED CHOICE OF THE RESIDENT. |
