URI’s intermediate care facilities provide individuals with full-service, around-the-clock care, support, and supervision by expert staff in a home-like independent setting. Direct support professionals, qualified health professionals, and other members of the team work together to ensure the safety and well-being of each client.
URI’s individualized residential alternative provides individuals with personalized attention, opportunities for independent living, and the chance to participate in a wide range of activities. Individualized programs provide a home-like environment by support professionals, qualified health professionals, and Medicaid service coordinators.
All URI residences offer client-centered planning and care coordination as well as a wide variety of services, including transportation to and from day programs; community integration and recreational activities; nutritional, occupational and physical therapy; and speech services. The residences are certified by the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities and have specially dedicated employees assigned 24 hours a day.
All residents receive individualized attention from an interdisciplinary team of professionals who, along with the individual’s family and/or advocate, support each resident to achieve their goals. In addition to individual program planning, recreational activities are scheduled year-round for residents. All residents also participate daily in either vocational training, day habilitation, or a day treatment program.
