In addition to the regular staff, each program has the consulting services of a nurse, social worker and psychologist. Group Homes Groups homes currently exist in Castleton, Delmar, Glenville, Guilderland and Schenectady for individuals who require 24-hour supervision and support. The homes vary in size from five to 10 people, along with the number of staff necessary to meet the needs of the residents. Transitional Apartment Program A supervised transitional apartment program is located in the Town of Colonie. Designed and built by Wildwood Programs, it blends the best of living in a family or group home with living on one's own.
Residents can simulate independent living while receiving support, feedback and training from staff.
Supported Living Many individuals live in their own apartments or homes. They may live alone or with a roommate who is also disabled in an apartment that Wildwood rents for them. Individuals also rent their own apartments, sometimes with state funding. Others own their homes, which their families may have purchased for them. In any of these settings, the individual may live with a nondisabled roommate who provides assistance and companionship.
