Our Features
Our program is specifically designed to meet the needs of individuals requiring cognitive, physical, emotional, and behavioral rehabilitation. All of our services are focused on the needs and desired outcomes of the individuals and families we serve.
Service Coordination
The Service Coordinator helps the individual to attain services and to apply to the HCBS/TBI waiver. They are responsible for coordinating and monitoring the provision of all services in the individual’s Service Plan. Together, the Service Coordinator and the individual collaborate to develop the individualized Service Plan, which reflects the individual’s goals, interests, and desired outcomes. Also, the Service Coordinator is responsible for continuing the development, implementation, monitoring, and provision of the Service Plan on an ongoing basis. The Service Coordinator serves as an advocate for the individual in ensuring that all services are implemented as outlined in the Service Plan.
Case Management
In conjunction with residential services, Liberty Resources also offers Case Management. A Case Manager is designated to help recipients of extended services to receive the most-appropriate services to meet their needs. The Case Manager and the individual collaborate to develop an individualized plan of care, which reflects the individual’s goals, interests, and desired outcomes. The Case Manager also ensures that the provisions of services meet the policy requirements and standards that have been set by the insurance carrier. Also, the Case Manager is responsible for continuing the development, implementation, monitoring, and provision of the patient’s individualized plan on an ongoing basis. The Case Manager not only serves as an advocate for the individual in ensuring that all services are implemented as outlined in the plan but also coordinates and collaborates with any internal or external agencies or providers that are needed to effectively facilitate the plan.
Independent-Living Skills Training
Independent-Living Skills Training and Development services are designed to improve the ability of the individual to live as independently as possible in the community. ILST services may be provided in the individual’s home or in the community. ILST services may include assessment; training; and supervision of, or assistance to, individuals with issues related to self-care, medication management, task completion, reduction/elimination of maladaptive behaviors, problem-solving skills, money management, pre-vocational skills, and the skills that are needed to maintain a household.
Structured-Day Program
Structured-Day Program services are provided in an outpatient congregate setting or in the community. These services are designed to improve or maintain the individual’s skills and ability to live as independently as possible in the community. Individuals may choose to engage in groups that emphasize basic work skills, problem-solving, communication, computer operation, cooking, and a wide range of other activities that work on promoting or sustaining their ability to be independent within their community.
Residential Services
Residential services are currently provided to those individuals who have sustained a traumatic brain injury and have a variety of insurances, such as Worker’s compensation, no-fault insurance, or private insurance. The residences are located close to community services and to our Structured-Day Program. These services include support with activities of daily living, community integration, homemaker or housekeeping services, and other personal-care tasks. Also, these services provide safety and oversight of those individuals who require such assistance. The residential environment enables the residents to learn at their own pace and to gain skills that facilitate greater personal independence and self-esteem.
Licensed Home Care Provided by Personal Care Aides
Our Registered Nurse provides an assessment in the development of a care plan that is centered on the needs of the client. A Personal Care Aide not only performs basic personal-care tasks but also provides support with the activities of daily living to help individuals recover in the comfort of their own home:
- Prepares and serves meals to fit the nutritional needs of the client
- Maintains general cleanliness of the home: launders clothing and bed linens; dusts; vacuums; washes dishes; thoroughly cleans the kitchen and bathroom
- Ensures that all needed supplies are readily available for client and program use
- Supports and helps clients with banking, medical appointments, and shopping
- Provides assistance with self-administration of medication

Services are provided through the Home and Community-Based Medicaid Traumatic Brain Injury (HCBS/TBI) waiver and are regulated by the New York State Department of Health. The program also provides services for individuals who have other insurances, such as New York State Insurance Fund, New York State Workman’s Compensation, and private pay.
