The therapeutic supports provided to participants of NCIA Adult Residential Services reflect the same level of attention to the needs and values of the individual as do the skill training services available. We provide nursing care as required by individual needs, including training and monitoring of staff in medication administration, blood pressure monitoring, glucose monitoring, use of inhalers and nebulizers, administration of oxygen, special dietary needs, and dressing changes.

NCIA’s nursing staff also provides scheduled site visitation, 45-day nursing assessments, monitors side effects of psychotropic medications, develops and monitors the Nursing Plan of Care for each individual, and serves as a liaison between participants and their physicians.

Evaluation of psychotropic medications, psychiatric evaluations and emergency intervention, and counseling for hospital admissions and discharges are available through our mental health staff. Individual and group psychological counseling, as well as sexuality therapy, are also available. Behavioral support plans are developed for each individual, integrating psychiatric, behavioral, and therapeutic treatment through comprehensive and integrated clinical services.
