Personal Care Homes
Licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, our personal care boarding homes offer extensive social contact with the safety and supports of staff assistance provided around the clock. Our two personal care homes, New Vitae Mount Trexler Manor and New Vitae Quakertown House provide assistance with medication administration, access to nursing staff, and routine trips into the surrounding Lehigh Valley and Bucks County areas. Additionally, group psycho-educational opportunities are offered to assist with increasing residents’ socialization and good citizenship skill-building. Both private and semi-private room options are available, with nutritious meals included in room and board costs. Many residents begin services living at Mount Trexler Manor or Quakertown House in order to identify areas of skill-building and initiate their clinical services through the New Vitae Wellness and Recovery Center.
24/7 Staffed Apartments
New Vitae Wellness and Recovery’s 24/7 staffed residences provide adults and young adults with the opportunities associated with a sharing a living space with one or two housemates. Residents are provided the opportunity to develop and prepare meals, share household chores and responsibilities, and continue to have the direct support of New Vitae staff. Young adults living in these shared spaces frequently connect as a result of educational or vocational goals, and adults tend to bond as a result of their work or volunteer experiences. These living arrangements can be an excellent opportunity to further refine residents’ activities of daily living needs to prepare for more independent living arrangements. Additionally, New Vitae has specialized some of our residences to assist those with complex medical histories. Those interested in our 24/7-staffed apartments can learn more information via our Young Adult or New Vitae Pathways links.
Supported Independent Living Apartments
As New Vitae Wellness and Recovery’s most independent living option, many residents utilize our supportive independent living apartments as an intermediate step to securing their own independent apartment or other living arrangements. While staff members are available for assistance, residents utilizing this housing option are confident with completing activities of daily living and accessing community supports, including jobs, volunteer opportunities, and educational programs independently. Supported independent living apartment residents share social contacts in both immediate and extended communities, and have developed skills for independent living that permit additional options for medication administration. This living arrangement works well for both young adult and adult Pathways residents.
