Holistic Residential Care Programs
BROOKSIDE FARM offers residential care programs, which allow residents to have a safe, home-like environment where they can receive proper attention and support to live their best lives. These programs are centered around the concept of a therapeutic community and built on the core principles of community integration and enhancement of quality of life.
Individual Care Plan
As soon as a new resident arrives, we develop an individual care plan according to their specific needs. The plan includes a synopsis of the resident’s medical issues, special needs, and goals. It is developed through the collaborative effort of the resident, their family, physicians, the psychiatric team, and the BROOKSIDE FARM staff.
Diet and Exercise
Nutrition and exercise are important components of the care program at BROOKSIDE FARM. We prepare home-style meals emphasizing variety and healthiness; these meals are planned seasonally and with input from the residents. For their fitness, walking is integrated into each resident’s daily or weekly routine, and a personal trainer visits the house twice a week.
Dedicated Staff Counselor
Each resident is assigned a staff counselor who provides individualized interaction and support. The counselor thoughtfully observes their assigned resident’s interests and plans programs and activities that will appeal to them. To ensure that the resident’s needs are addressed, the counselor actively manages and assesses the goals and objectives of the individual care plan. By developing a personal relationship with the resident, the counselor becomes an advocate and mentor.
