AccessCNY’s new Intensive Children’s Respite home provides enhanced site-based support for kids ages 5-17. The center provides a safe and private place for guests to continue their mental health recovery. Serving up to 4 kids at a time, Our Crystal House respite home provides 24/7 staffing and is equipped with individual bedrooms and joint living spaces.
Guests at our Crystal House site are kids being discharged from Upstate Children’s Hospital’s Biobehavioral Health Unit (BHU), or kids with an intellectual disability and high behavioral needs who have received OPWDD approval.
Parents, family members and other caregivers will have the opportunity to have a hands-on role in their loved one’s healing, through the assistance of social workers, peer advocates, behavior specialists and more. Families will also receive connections to wraparound services to continue the child’s success upon discharge.
