Spaulding Support Services is a
voluntary not-for-profit Human Service agency that provides services to persons
with developmental disabilities and their families. The agency began with a
core group of families seeking residential services for their children. This
group founded the then known Spaulding P.R.A.Y. Residence Corporation in 1982
and opened their first supervised community residence serving 8 young adults on
Spaulding Avenue in Syracuse.
Spaulding’s governing body is a
volunteer Board of Director’s which includes broad representation of our
community. A majority of the board members are relatives of a person with a
developmental disability. The agency works with other service providers,
governmental agencies and consumers in the identification of and development of
a comprehensive continuum of services in Onondaga
County.
The agency has grown over the
past 27 years, and now serves 38 individuals in 12 supervised and supportive
homes/apartments. Spaulding operates two Free Standing Respite Centers
providing respite care to approximately 76 individuals living at home with
their families. Spaulding provides in home residential assistance to 18 individuals
living in their own apartment or home. Spaulding provides funding support to 15
individuals allowing them to continue to live in their own place; provides
Medicaid Service Coordination to 114 individuals and/or families, and provides
Family Reimbursement funds to eligible families, to assist in maintaining their
family members at home and prevent out of home placement. Spaulding employs a
little over 100 dedicated staff that allows the agencies mission to be
delivered.
Spaulding programs are funded
through individual benefit entitlements; the NYS Office of Mental Retardation
and Developmental Disabilities; Medicaid; Fundraising; Memberships and In-Kind
Donations.
