A team of multidisciplinary professionals assess the healthcare needs of each and every individual served by McGuire Memorial to create a comprehensive plan of care and an active treatment plan for each individual.

Residential Healthcare Services

Eighty-nine individuals who are severely and profoundly disabled, often with complex, multiple disabilities reside in McGuire’s Intermediate Care Facility for Mentally Retarded (ICF/MR). Twenty-four hour medical care is essential in the care of these medically fragile residents, and McGuire provides round-the-clock nursing care with on-staff RNs and LPNs as well as physician availability 24-hours-a-day. Other members of McGuire’s multidisciplinary team include physical, occupational, and speech therapists; dieticians; and behavior specialists. Respiratory therapists are also key members of the multidisciplinary team, for many of the residents have chronic respiratory disabilities that require the use of tracheostomies, ventilators, etc.

Residents of McGuire’s Community Home Program—individuals with mild to severe disabilities—enjoy private living with a safe and supportive living environment where nursing and medical staff, therapists, and behavioral specialists are on-call around the clock, if needed.
