PRFI Residential Programs

Since 1975, PRFI’s Intermediate Care Facilities (ICFs) have provided comfortable, culturally sensitive, home-like setting for persons who are developmentally disabled. Their goal is to help individuals acquire Activities of Daily Living Skills (ADLS) that are essential for independent living, thus enabling them to reintegrate and live with their families.
In 2003, PRFI developed a new program called the Individualized Residential Alternative (IRA) program. Coupled with the ICFs, this program provides quality person-centered service to meet the daily needs of individuals with developmental disabilities.
Through the ICFs and IRA programs, PRFI has provided the much-needed rehabilitative residential services to our clients. Our facilities deliver proficient and empathic 24-hour care, making PFRI’s residential programming one of the best managed operations in the tri-state NYC area for this population.
ICF and IRA Program highlights include:
-
Adaptive skills training
-
Self-care skills training
-
Physical fitness
-
Domestic skills building
-
Arts and crafts
-
Work and relationship skills-building
These programs are located in the Bronx and are funded though New York City’s Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD).
