COTTAGE LIVING
Life on Campus ::
Keeping our residents, active, happy,
and comfortable is our day to day living goal. Residents are encouraged
to make their rooms look like home by decorating according to their
likes and dislikes. To make life feel even more like home, each
resident has a daily household chore. They are responsible for keeping
their rooms picked up and making their beds (if they are capable).
This also aids with their ADL Program. Residents may earn extra
points, as incentives for purchases or off campus activities for
going out of their way to help out with chores.
Birthday parties, sporting events, and special activities are part
of everyday life. Games and activities are planned for every evening
and on weekends.
Residents also have the opportunity to get paid by working on campus
through a new program that has just been launched.
Open Communication ::
The professionals at NECCO Center recognize
that open communication and prompt response are integral to the
treatment process and overall resident safety. By prioritizing
clear, concise, and prompt communication with our colleagues on
the state level, NECCO Center strives to reduce the risk associated
with this treatment population while ensuring that effective and
appropriate treatment decisions are made.
Point of Contact ::
Each resident is assigned an administrative
case manager who works collaboratively with the treatment team
to provide timely and accurate information to those involved in
the resident’s treatment.
The Team Approach ::
The administrative case manager conducts
a monthly Multi-Disciplinary Team Meeting (MDT). In collaboration with our residential
department heads, all areas of the resident’s daily life are
reviewed in this meeting including but not limited to residential,
partial hospitalization and education. Regular feedback provided
by monthly MDT meetings ensures that treatment plans are developed
promptly and maintain the flexibility for modification when immediate
changes to the resident’s plan are necessary.
In the Mix ::
NECCO Center Administrators provide extra
support and mentoring to direct care staff Monday-Friday during
the evening hours. Observations are noted and used as learning
tools to improve program areas and staff-resident interactions.
The Exchange ::
• Individualized e-mail groups to alert
staff of resident issues
• Monthly Update for trainings, policy changes, and departmental matters
• Weekly Flash Meeting to discuss current issues and plans for the future
• Multi-Disciplinary Team Meetings to discuss resident progress/issues
