The following components of Rose-Mary Center's program help those we serve acquire more skills and learn to live more independently.
Individual Habilitation Plans – Each individual served is assessed in order to understand his or her strengths and areas that need improvement. This assessment is reviewed and updated quarterly.
Medical attention – Nursing services are available 24 hours a day to address medical needs, such as seizure disorders.
Interdisciplinary team – A comprehensive team of professionals assesses, writes and implements each individual's habilitation plan. The team can include nurses, a social worker, psychologist, registered dietician, pediatrician, dentist, child psychiatrist, physical and occupational therapists and assistants, a speech pathologist, Qualified Mental Retardation Professionals, a client/family advocate, trained direct care staff, in addition to the resident her/himself and family members.

Residents have available a state of the art multi-sensory room, a beautiful outdoor sensory garden, a safe enclosed play area, and an indoor therapeutic swimming pool to enhance program goals in a fun and enjoyable atmosphere.
