Special Needs Residences (Gan Kavod)
A place you can truly call home.
Sitrin offers two special needs residences – Birch and Maple – for developmentally disabled individuals with medical needs. Located on Sitrin's main campus, these specially designed residences feature:
- Comfortable living environment – Each home offers contemporary décor and a host of amenities, such as gas fireplaces, aquariums, skylights, and themed sensory rooms.
- Community and family activities – Residents enjoy participating in many activities locally and regionally, including regular shopping trips for home and personal items, wellness and aquatic programs, trips to the theatre, sporting events, dining, and much more. Family participation in daily activities and special events is welcome.
- Day program options – Sitrin collaborates with day program providers in our area to provide our residents with the most appropriate program choices. Integration with the general community is encouraged.
- Enhanced services for dementia – Birch residence is equipped with special enhanced safety systems for individuals with dementia-like symptoms who have a tendency to wander. Both residences tailor programs to meet the needs of persons with dementia.
Skilled, caring staff.
Our special needs residences are staffed with highly skilled professional caregivers who treat your loved one like family. Each house has a registered nurse and service coordinator overseeing each resident's care plan and program. Each house receives weekly visits by:
- Physician
- Dietician
- Occupational therapist
- Physical therapist
- Speech language pathologist
- Behavior specialist
The Sitrin advantage: continuity of care.
Because our special needs residences are part of the same care community as our long term care and rehabilitation facilities, residents enjoy access to the same skilled staff and high quality health services available elsewhere on campus. So your loved one can receive additional care as his/her needs change, with less disruption to daily life. That is an important part of the Sitrin advantage – one that means greater peace of mind for your family.
