<p><strong>ABOUT LIVING OPPORTUNITIES OF DEPAUL</strong></p> <p>DePaul is a private, not-for-private organization for individuals struggling with a range of concerns, including mental health disorders and substance use disorder. Founded in 1958, this center provides <strong>housing, support services, residential care, and vocational services.</strong> </p> <p>Living Opportunities of DePaul is the organization's group of <strong>mental health residential facilities,</strong> comprising 25 sites, ranging from apartments to single rooms to supported housing and transitional housing. There are programs in Monroe, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Orleans, and Wyoming counties, New York. </p> <p>The <strong>residential facilities</strong> are reserved for those who are actively involved in a mental health treatment program of some variety, and referrals are typically made by a treatment professional, though individuals and their families can also self-refer.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The organization offers two facilities in Cheektowaga: Apple Blossom Apartment Treatment Program and the Edgebrook Estates Apartment Treatment Program. In both programs, residents live in independent apartments and enjoy the program's highest level of independence. <strong>Staff are available 24 hours a day,</strong> in case of emergency, and also make routine visits. Apartment treatment programs of this sort comprise 11 of the facility's 25 residential centers.</p> <p>Also available are single rooms in facilities that are staffed 24 hours a day, and which provide medical, mental health, dental, social, vocational, and life-skills support. And at congregate treatment sites, residents enjoy 24-hour staff, but <strong>attend treatment and other scheduled activities off-site,</strong> beginning to find their footing in community life.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its treatment staff; however, the single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date — themselves an employee — gave the facility five out of five stars for the experience levels of its medical and mental health staff. The individual indicated, in mid-2015, that the facility employed <strong>seven staff medical professionals and seven contract medical professionals,</strong> as well as two staff mental health professionals and three contract mental health professionals.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Pictures published on the facility's website show homey, simply furnished apartments.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has not yet received any reviews directly from alumni of this facility, though secondary sites yielded mostly positive feedback at the time of this writing, with a three-star rating on Facebook,<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> and a five-star ratings on Yelp.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> "Single residence units are so nicely put together. They allow freedom as well as supervision. Three squares. Gated community. Perfect for my friend. And me. DePaul is everything that I had hoped for in an organization that can/will assist with the future," J.C. wrote on Yelp, adding in an update to the review: "This place just rocks when it comes down to integration into life." J.C. was the only alum to leave any commentary on a secondary site.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>"My son moved in there in April this place is horrible staff don't care all they do is take your money roommate yells all the time getting him out," D.S. wrote in a one-star review on Facebook in July 2017 — the only review from a loved one Rehabs.com was able to uncover at the time of this writing.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>"Compassion," was the simple description of the single staffer polled by Rehabs.com to date. The reviewer indicated that they had no concerns about the quality of care provided by DePaul, and gave the organization four or five stars in all of the evaluated treatment metrics, including its honesty, its willingness to put clients' interests first, and the overall quality of its care.</p> <p>Six Indeed users to date provided similarly positive feedback and an average rating of <strong>3.7 out of five stars</strong>.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small> One reviewer praised the center for providing "needed resources," and another referred to atmosphere as "friendly and energetic." In a representative statement, one former employee noted "reliable supervisor and teamwork with all employees no matter which dept they worked." </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Employed residents pay a fee based on their monthly income, and some families pay a fee determined according to their circumstances. Treatment is also <strong>subsidized by government funding.</strong> The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date, a staffer, gave the facility four out of five stars for the fairness of its price point.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Living-Opportunities-of-Depaul/167847599893133" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Living-Opportunities-of-Depaul/167847599893133</a></small></p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/living-opportunities-of-depaul-cheektowaga" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/living-opportunities-of-depaul-cheektowaga</a></small></p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Living-Opportunities-of-Depaul/reviews" target="_blank">https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Living-Opportunities-of-Depaul/reviews</a></small></p>
