4. SFL provides more than just medical care for eligible members. In
addition to their Intermediate Care facility in Closter, they operate
group housing locations and apartments for clients needing
minimal assistance with daily tasks, both overseen by medical
directors knowledgeable in their varying needs. SFL’s adult
training centers teach attendees valuable physical, cognitive, and
social skills. Their Central Recreation Program consists of regular
creative activities through SFL’s target area and the broader
community. To serve as an outlet for their clients’ skills, SFL’s
store in Westwood sells custom-made party supplies made by SFL
members.

5. SFL’s staff also understands that caring for a client with a
developmental disability takes a toll on their family and friends.
Accordingly, this group can benefit from SFL’s Family Respite
Program, where they can take a well-deserved break from looking
after their loved ones, either at an SFL facility or in their own
home.
