Wraparound Services of the Hudson Valley
Wraparound Services of the Hudson Valley (formerly known as United Cerebral Palsy of Ulster County), has been providing services to individuals with disabilities for over 70 years. Originally founded in 1951, by local pediatrician, Dr. Henry Bibbi and Rabbi Herbert Bloom, and a group of dedicated supporters, the organization remains dedicated to ensuring that persons with disabilities lead full and rich lives.
Wraparound Services of the Hudson Valley (WSHV) is committed to providing a wide variety of services to person centered services to meet the needs of children and adults with disabilities through the Hudson Valley region including the following counties: Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Putnam, Orange, Rockland, Ulster and Westchester. Although originally founded to serve children with Cerebral Palsy, we now serve hundreds of children and adults with a wide range of disabilities each day.
Wraparound Residential
Our CQL accreditation in Person Centered Excellence is testament to the caring culture grounded in quality services and respect at all times. Each day WSHV residential programs provide comprehensive person centered services to over 70 individuals with moderate to severe physical, medical and cognitive disabilities. Our highly trained workforce ensures that each person’s individual needs are addressed and that they are able to live as full and inclusive a life as possible. They understand the critical importance of relationships that are essential to a healthy life seeing each person as an individual with unique skills and abilities.
Our programs provide supervision, a nurturing home environment, physical assistance, training, medical and medication management and a warm and welcoming living space. Residents also have access to community based therapeutic recreation, medication administration and monitoring, as well as special preparation of meals and transportation to all medical and community appointments.
Wraparound Community
The Wraparound Community Services (WCS) program began in February 2016. Initially funded through a BIP grant the program now serves 80 people over a six county area. WCS has focused on priority one cases received from OPWDD. Our goal is to partner with people with disabilities to avoid the need for residential care and allow individuals in residential care an opportunity to return to the community safely with WCS supports. Many of the people participating in WCS services were at risk of homelessness or residential placement at the time of referral. We are proud of the fact that only five people needed to enter residential care after receiving WCS supports.
