About Abilities First Inc.
If you’ve ever worried about what long-term support looks like for someone living with an intellectual or developmental disability and a mental health condition, Abilities First in Poughkeepsie, New York, will feel like a breath of fresh air. Their Residential Services are built with people who have co-occurring needs in mind. I’ve seen how easy it is for those with complex challenges to fall through the cracks, but they make sure no one goes unheard or unsupported.
Specialized Support for CComplex Needs
Abilities First offers supervised and supportive residential programs for adults. Residents receive 24/7 staffing, daily living support and behavioral health monitoring all within homes that are designed to feel safe and respectful of independence. What sets this apart is the embedded clinical team. They have licensed clinical social workers, board-certified behavior analysts and clinical psychologists to create personalized plans for each of the individuals they’re caring for.
They use proven approaches like ABA and Positive Behavior Support to handle challenges, but the vibe isn’t clinical, it’s compassionate. They don’t just try to squeeze everyone into the same mold. Whether someone’s living with autism, anxiety or something more complex, the care is customized to what actually works for them.
It’s About the Little Things, Too
One of the coolest things here? They don’t just listen to residents, but they document their preferences and actually follow up. Want to go bowling? Try a new hobby? See a friend more often? There’s a system in place to make sure those things happen. Their Activities Coordinator helps bring all of that to life in a way that feels fun and meaningful.
They also connect residents to outside providers for things like psychiatrist, substance use care or counseling when it's needed. So whether someone needs daily structure or more intensive mental health care, it’s all coordinated. That’s what makes this place feel like more than just a program, but a real support system that grows.
