Partners In Care

The Methodist Church Home’s Partners in Care Program offers a unique and valuable experience to our community such as high school and college students.

The Home provides an opportunity for disabled young adults to work at the facility under the supervision of one of the Home’s directors, and their own teacher, who together work to teach these young adults to acquire social skills while performing meaningful tasks at the Home.

Manhattan College students, under the supervision of a professor, attend frequent intergenerational activities offered to the Residents. These students participate in activities specially designed for nursing.

Medical students from College of Mount Saint Vincent, under the supervision of a professor, are able to acquire experience in geriatrics by teaming up with our staff and providing care to our Residents.

Being involved in our Partner in Care Program provides more than just a job. It is an opportunity for students to explore career opportunities, become more accustomed to a work environment and routine, and interact with people of other generations, cultures and backgrounds.
