Residential Services

The agency operates supportive living residential facilities licensed and funded by OMRDD. These community residences provide on-site case management and residential habilitation services to adults with developmental disabilities. The residences are unique in that they can accommodate families with young children headed by an adult with a developmental disability. Sinergia also operates Individualized Residential Alternatives (IRA) and Individualized Support Services (ISS), two additional models providing residential and support services for individuals with developmental disabilities.

In addition to the Residence Director, Residence Managers and residential habilitation staff, the nursing department provides medical care and intervention to consumers in our Residential Services Department.  The five medical team members (One RN-BSN, two RNs and two Health Service Managers) act as the liaison between the consumers and their various medical providers to ensure that the consumers are receiving proper medical care and follow-up.  In addition to communicating with medical providers, the team members also coordinate appointments, follow up on prescription orders and disseminate and coordinate relevant medical information to the various service providers.  The Nursing Department team members also oversee and monitor the condition and care of consumers who require hospitalizations and attend discharge meetings in order to insure appropriate discharge planning and transitional care.

The Nursing Department also provides training to staff and consumers on signs and symptoms of illnesses, AIDS awareness, safe sex practices, basic first aid and CPR.  The Nursing Dept. Coordinator also teaches an extensive and thorough course to staff that certifies them to dispense prescribed medications under the monitoring of the medical team members.

The Nursing Department maintains a valuable network with our contact pharmacies, medical professionals and representatives and provides medical assistance, information and guidance to Sinergia staff and consumers on a seven day a week, 24 hours a day basis.
