ABOUT US
The only Greek Orthodox residential adult care home
in the United States, St. Michael’s Home is licensed by the New York State – Department of Health. Opened in 1958,
this Archdiocesan institution has provided quality care to countless Greek Orthodox elderly and while most residents are from
the Tri-State area (NY, NJ &CT), a growing number are from other areas of the countries and recently individuals have
been admitted from CO, IL, FL, MI, and SC.
A non-profit entity, St. Michael’s
has NEVER received subsidies from the Archdiocese or the government but depends on its boarding fees and donations to meet
its expenses. Last year, close to one-third of the Home’s operating budget was covered by contributions and the quality
of life for residents would be greatly diminished without these gifts.
The facility
encompasses private and semiprivate bedrooms for 60 senior citizens (for the last 2 years the Home has been operating at full
capacity); a dining room; a magnificent chapel; modern medical facility; recreation room; beauty salon and other accommodations
needed for the quality care of its residents.
In addition to housing and meals which
are prepared under the supervision of a certified nutritionist, the Home provides residents with assistance with their daily
routine, laundry and housekeeping services, a full-time recreation program and 24 hour supervision. Two geriatric specialists
and a podiatrist each visit the Home once a week while a psychiatrist, psychologist, audiologist, dermatologist and optometrist
visit as needed. In addition, arrangements have been made for procedures such as x-rays, blood tests, EKG’s, etc. to
be done in-house by visiting
technicians.
Applicants must be Greek Orthodox and
as per the strict regulations of the Department of Health, all residents must be ambulatory and not require on-going nursing
care. Individuals are not required to turn over their assets but submit the monthly boarding fee established by the level
of accommodation they have requested. Applicants on SSI are accepted by the Home and each case is individually evaluated (no
one will be denied admission because of inability to pay).
Because of the increased
demand for its services and to meet the growing needs of the community, St. Michael’s is aggressively pursuing an expansion
project which will not only increase its capacity but will also expand the level of care which the facility is presented permitted
to offer by the State.
