$2.2 Million in Grants Awarded to 32 Adult Care Facilities
ALBANY, November 8, 2006 - New York State Health Commissioner Antonia C. Novello, M.D., M.P.H., Dr.P.H., today announced a total of $2.2 million in state grants to 32 adult care facilities across the state to help improve the independence and quality of life of their residents.
"Governor Pataki and I are strongly committed to improving the quality of life for the residents of adult care facilities throughout New York State by empowering the residents themselves through the use of innovative programs," said Commissioner Novello.
First authorized in 2004, the Enhancing Abilities and Life Experience (EnAbLE) initiative was established to develop programs designed to teach independent living skills, provide educational or vocational training or teach residents preventive health care skills and management of their own medications.
EnAbLE is an opportunity for operators of Adult Homes, Enriched Housing Programs and Residences for Adults to offer a variety of supportive services for residents, including participation in wellness and nutrition programs, independent living skills training, increased opportunities to participate in community activities and social opportunities, maintaining memory or engaging in supervised activity to improve physical condition and reduce falls or injuries.
