General Info
Narrative
Bridgewell’s Day Habilitation services offer a variety of supports to adults of all ages with mild to severe developmental and physical disabilities. People often have additional challenges such as visual and/or hearing impairments, medical conditions, and/or behavioral issues. Specialty services have been designed to meet the needs of people with Alzheimer’s Disease and for the young adult population.
Day Habilitation programs located in Lynn, Medford and Melrose promote community experience. We address self care, nutrition, household skills, communication, and sensory, motor, behavioral and social development.
Services are provided both on-site and in the community. We offer a variety of learning settings. People are assessed by our highly qualified Clinical Team comprised of clinicians within the nursing, OT, PT, Speech and behavior support disciplines. Support services are established based on each person’s needs and likes.
Direct support staff members are trained by the Clinical Team. Bridgewell’s nursing staff ensures quality medical care. There is a staffing ratio of at least 1 staff for every 4 people. Higher ratios are provided for those who are more medically and behaviorally challenged.
