The Sewickley ATF provides services to the residents of our Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) which is located on the same campus. The individuals at the Sewickley site are on the severe and profound end of the IDD (Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities) spectrum, and the ATF staff work closely with the Residential, Nursing, and Habilitation Services departments to provide holistic and integrated programming to best meet our residents’ individual and unique needs. This programming includes the incorporation of sensory stimulation and adaptive communication tools. The tools used include music, art, animal therapy, and environmental and community projects that are integrated into each resident’s plan of care and recreational life. Sensory stimulation ad adaptive communication exercises aid in the resident’s ongoing development by encouraging positive engagement as a member of our community.

Verland North (Venango County)

Verland is thrilled to announce the expansion of our community and services into Venango County. As a person-centered non-profit family, we have been approved to build up to four Verland Signature Homes serving Venango, Butler, and Mercer counties.

We provide services for the 25 individuals currently residing throughout this area. We are planning a seamless transition for these residents so that their lives are as uninterrupted as possible. Their soon-to-be new homes will provide them with a place of comfort and familiarity while receiving the necessary therapies, training, and activities to continue living engaging and enriched lives.

While the Signature Homes are being constructed, residents will remain fully cared for at the Polk State facility. Additionally, we hope to hire the skilled and dedicated therapists, direct support professionals, and the medical staff that is already in place at the Polk State Facility.

The goal is to improve the quality of life for both the patient and the family. In partnership with PCMA (Personal Care Medical Associates) Palliative Care Division, Verland’s Rose Program provides an extra layer of medical support, enhancing the high-quality care already provided at Verland. We work closely with clients, families, and their healthcare teams to decrease debilitating symptoms, improve outcomes, and restore quality of life. We have helped many clients and families navigate their illnesses and choices.

Support Our Mission

Verland was established through the love and compassion of its three founders and the generosity of one individual who was inspired to share her good fortune with others by donating the land on which Verland’s Ohio Township campus was built.  Today, your support is needed to continue building community homes, expand the capacity of all facilities, and support our 230+ individuals with loving care.
