Cardinal Hayes Home for Children:
75 Years of Compassionate Care
Mission
We share in a ministry of service to young people who are disabled, promote the integrity and well-being of families, and provide each individual in our care the opportunity to achieve his or her potential in an atmosphere of acceptance and love.
Residential Program
Cardinal Hayes Home has one hundred ten developmentally disabled young people residing in its Intermediate Care Facilities (ICFs). The main campus in Millbrook, NY is home for sixty children and young adults. The six one-story residences and the living space in the main building are all handicapped-accessible. The agency’s five Community ICFs are in various areas of Dutchess County; ten disabled young people live in each of these homes. There is 24-hour care and supervision of the residents at every agency site. Our IRA (Individualized Residential Alternative) Program offers 3 separate apartments (2 bed, 3 bed and 4 bed) providing supervised living for 9 young adults with complex care needs.
The young people in our homes have been entrusted to our care, and each one is treated with dignity and respect. Every phase of a child’s care and treatment is important. Cardinal Hayes staff monitors each young person’s development and well-being through an individualized treatment plan. Social work, family counseling, medical and neurological services, dietary planning, behavioral programming, physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy are all included in our services. Social and recreational opportunities are also an important part of each resident’s plan of care.
Educational Program
Cardinal Hayes School for Special Children is a not-for-profit day school serving students who are multi-handicapped. Affiliated with Cardinal Hayes Home for Children, the school provides special education programs for many of the children who reside at the Home and also accepts special needs children residing in the community who are referred by their school districts. Committees on Special Education of area school districts are invited to consider Cardinal Hayes School as placement for students with severe intellectual disabilities.
Located on ten wooded acres at the eastern end of the Village of Millbrook, Cardinal Hayes School was designed to serve young people with extensive needs. The classrooms have large, open spaces to accommodate wheelchairs and special equipment such as standing boards and mats for physical therapy. The natural, unspoiled beauty of the site on which the school is located creates a pleasant, serene environment.
