About
OUR HOUSE ------------------------------------------- OUR HOUSE PROVIDES 24 HOUR SPECIALIZED NURSING CARE AND SERVICES IN A RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITY FOR THOSE WITH ADVANCED HIV WHO REQUIRE INTENSIVE CARE. IN ADDITION TO HIV AND RELATED PHYSICAL HEALTH ISSUES, MANY RESIDENTS ALSO SUFFER FROM MENTAL ILLNESS, SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND/OR HISTORIES OF HOMELESSNESS. IN THE PAST YEAR A TOTAL OF 16 RESIDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WERE SERVED. RESIDENTS OF OUR HOUSE ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND ACTIVITIES PROVIDED BY OUR STAFF AND COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS. THESE OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE SWIMMING, BOWLING, BINGO, CREATIVE WRITING, GARDENING, CRAFTS AND MORE. WE ALSO HAVE FREQUENT OUTINGS TO PARKS, MUSEUMS, MOVIES, THE COAST, AS WELL AS SPECIAL COMMUNITY EVENTS. OUR THERAPEUTIC GARDEN CONTINUES TO THRIVE WITH RESIDENTS PARTICIPATING EVERY THURSDAY AFTERNOON TO PLANT, CULTIVATE AND HARVEST FRUITS AND VEGETABLES THAT ARE THEN PREPARED AND SERVED TO THEM BY OUR KITCHEN VOLUNTEERS. ALL RESIDENTS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH VISUAL AND OTHER PHYSICAL IMPAIRMENTS, ARE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE. WE MAKE SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR THEM TO BE INVOLVED IN A MEANINGFUL WAY. GARDENING IS A GREAT WAY TO BUILD COMMUNITY AMONG OUR RESIDENTS AND A SOURCE OF PRIDE AND ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THOSE THAT ARE INVOLVED. THE WORK AT OUR HOUSE CONTINUALLY EVOLVES, DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE EVER CHANGING HIV VIRUS AND THE COMPLEXITY OF OUR RESIDENTS. MUCH OF OUR RECENT WORK IS CENTERED AROUND ADDRESSING COMPLEX CO-MORBIDITIES, AS WELL AS DIFFICULT BEHAVIORAL AND COGNITIVE ISSUES. OUR CONTINUING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS ARE CENTERED AROUND CURRENT ISSUES OF BEHAVIOR, NUTRITION, DIVERSITY AND OTHER IMPORTANT TOPICS.
