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.
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.
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 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 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 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.
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:
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.

Social adult day services provide care to frail and disabled older adults in a supervised group setting within the community. All services are based on an individual care plan and on assessment of the participant’s needs and goals.

Our mission is to offer progressive services in the least restrictive, most community-based setting possible for each individual by providing an adult day social model program in a clean, nourishing and compassionate environment.
Individuals must require hands-on assistance or supervision in activities of daily living (mobility, transfers, bathroom assistance, and/or eating).

Mental health issues can impact many facets of daily living including access to permanent housing, a crucial component of maintaining an individual’s health. Our Mental Health Supportive Housing programs provide services and financial supports for individuals transitioning from a residential setting and also for individuals who are at risk of homelessness.
Our Housing Counselors ensure that individuals have the ability to exercise their right to choose where they are going to live, taking into consideration the recipient’s functional skills, the range of affordable housing options available in the area, and the type and extent of services and resources that recipients require to maintain their residence within the community.
The program provides financial assistance to recipients who meet income guidelines. Liberty Resources successfully provides rental stipends, moving costs, security deposits, and utility assistance to more than 80 recipients a year.
Housing Counselors offer case management services, supportive counseling—including crisis intervention, ongoing assessment and support planning, and independent-living skills training. We encourage participants to develop natural community supports and to use community resources to strengthen their bond to their neighborhood and encourage integration into community.
Each program provides services to adults, age 18 or older, with a documented mental health disorder. To request an application for the Supportive Scattered-Site Apartments, please call the number listed below. Following completion and submission of an application, the housing counselor will make contact to schedule an appointment to determine eligibility.

Liberty Resources offers transitional housing for homeless persons at our DePalmer location. The primary goal of this program is to provide an environment and level of services that will enable residents to attain and maintain safe, affordable permanent housing of their choice.
At least 92% of the clients who are served at DePalmer House are individuals in recovery from chemical addiction. At least two-thirds of the consumers who are served possess a diagnosed—and often untreated—coexisting psychiatric disorder. Many have had previous, recurrent episodes of homelessness.
DePalmer House is centrally located on the west side of Syracuse and is maintained as a confidential site. The two-story house consists of 10 beds with a full kitchen and dining room, two living rooms, three and a half baths, and a full basement complete with storage. Also, there are two staff offices, which serve as confidential counseling areas. The program is staffed 24 hours a day by a program supervisor, assistant supervisor, three direct support professionals (including an awake overnight counselor), and four part-time relief staff.
Supportive services offered within the program have allowed residents to address longstanding addiction issues that impede their ability to meet their housing needs. Other services-assist residents with complying with their medical treatment regimen, allowing more-fragile residents to improve their health to the point of being able to move into independent housing. DePalmer House program staff provide a variety of support services to meet the special needs of the population served.
DePalmer House offers linkages with social services, nutrition programs, local case management programs, chemical dependency treatment and mental health programs, health care, transportation, and other services and resources.
At the DePalmer House, patients’ goals include self-sufficiency and the attainment of permanent housing. The program staff assess each individual for needed services and assist them in connecting with these services.
Individuals 18 years or older with a documented HIV/AIDS diagnosis and in a homeless or inadequate housing status who fall below the federal poverty level are eligible for this program. Referrals are routinely accepted from a variety of sources including hospitals, case management agencies, correctional facilities, drug and alcohol treatment centers, and area shelters.

The Family Foster Care Program is a foster boarding-home program whose staff and foster parents are highly skilled and specialized in providing therapeutic intervention, case management and care coordination, skill building, and independent living for children and youth who have experienced trauma as it relates to being removed from the home due to abuse and/or neglect.
This program is designed to provide clinical and case management support to children, their biological families, and the foster families who participate in the program. The program goal is to provide the level of care and support that would enable children to be successful in a community-based setting. The primary purpose of the program is the prevention of institutionalization for these children.
Typically, referrals are made by the County for those youths that are close to being placed at a residential or critical care facility (RTC or RTF) or those who have been discharged from a residential facility and may be transitioning back into the community.

Dr. Sarmast graduated from Columbia University in 1999 and was accepted to medical schools in both Brooklyn and Syracuse. He accepted a position in Syracuse at Upstate Medical University because he wanted to be part of a smaller community. He then completed a family-practice residency at St Joseph’s hospital in 2008. After 8 years in the Emergency departments and urgent-care centers of St Joseph’s Hospital and Cayuga Medical Center, in Ithaca, it was clear to Dr. Sarmast that the most significant impact one can have on patients’ health is to prevent emergencies in the first place through good-quality family practice. He made the decision to come to Liberty Resources because of their vision of providing the most-important parts of a person’s health—primary care and mental health—in one location, with the promise of close collaboration and shared decision-making between the two. Dr. Sarmast now feels that his work matters more than ever before.

The Liberty Resources Recovery Support Navigator Team (RSN) has teamed up with the Monroe County Department of Public Health (DPH) and created a collaborative pilot program. The goal of this program is to connect Liberty Resources’ Peer Specialists and Family Support Specialists to individuals and families who have recently experienced an overdose.
The DPH receives information on anyone who has suffered an overdose, from both the Rochester Police and Sheriff’s departments within 24 hours of that overdose. The DPH then informs the Recovery Support Navigator Team, and we deploy a Peer and/or Family Support Specialist to that individual and/or family upon receiving the referral. The team starts with telephonic outreach and then works together with that individual in a person-centered approach to develop a plan of support. The RSN Team takes a Peer Model/Harm Reduction approach as well, which means that we are not here to tell anyone what to do, but rather to deeply listen to the needs of the individual and/or family.
The Recovery Support Navigator program is available for people in need of recovery support and for families of those who are in recovery.

Dummy County Here
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
