Weekend respite also gives their family member an opportunity to socialize and enjoy a variety of recreational activities as a guest in the program. Guests receive assistance with personal care, meal times, medication and other areas of need. Trained, attentive staff are on duty at all times. Day services are provided for both adults and school age children with developmental disabilities. Participants enjoy an array of social and recreational activities, while receiving assistance with personal care and other areas of need.
Staff assist and support individuals to reach a higher level of independence in all areas of life.
For school age children additional program is available during school holidays and vacations. A second IRA will open later in 2000. Additional IRA's may be opened under the New York Cares initiative. You should contact Cayuga Home if you or a family member are interested in these projected residences. Cayuga Home for Children is granted funding to assist families with costs of goods or services directly related to the care of a family member with a disability.
