Program areas at Nysarc Montgomery County Chapter - 1256
Residential services provides caring, small house settings with continuous supervision for persons with developmental disabilities. We manage 50 residential homes and supported apartments in a variety of rural, suburban, and urban communities. From barrier-free homes for those with high medical needs to semi-independent apartments, Liberty's homes are built around the personalities of their residents to help them overcome obstacles and achieve their best life. Our homes are exceptionally maintained and range in occupancy from 1 to 11 residents.
Family support services provides a variety of high-quality support programs to best equip families caring for individuals with disabilities. Caregivers are engaged in all of the options available and work with our staff on choosing activities that best support the family and the individual receiving services. Our most popular offerings are respite care, which includes recreation programs (bowling, swimming, arts and crafts, special olympics), after-school programs for ages 5-21, school recess programs for structured activities during school vacations, and summer camps; community habilitation; and medical transportation. We provide families with a caring community, information and referrals, connection with support groups, advocacy, and bi-lingual staff.
Day services we provide programs to help people with disabilities achieve a quality of life each person values. From site-based to without-walls programs, supervised day services are designed to enhance life skills, connect the individuals we serve with the community, provide fun and creative opportunities, and offer vocational support. Technology is used to create individualized programs for job skills and coping skills. Participants have choice and input into which activities they attend, helping focus on their personal growth and interests and contributing to their best life. Day program options include academics, cooking, computer skills, volunteering, gardening, healthy living, and "Liberty through the arts."
