Whitemarsh House is a personal care residence nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood, offering a welcoming and home-like atmosphere for its residents. This CARF Accredited Personal Care Home specializes in providing individualized care plans to adults with complex neurological and psychological needs, including those who have experienced traumatic brain injury, acquired brain injury, cerebral aneurysm, stroke, brain tumors, mental health diagnoses, and other related conditions. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by these individuals, Whitemarsh House has developed a holistic model of care that is both affordable and culturally diverse, ensuring that each resident’s health and well-being are prioritized.
At the core of Whitemarsh House’s philosophy is a deeply person-centered approach. Every resident is treated as an individual, with the professional staff dedicating time to understand their personal stories, abilities, goals, and challenges. Their experienced team, which includes physicians, nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, rehabilitation therapists, and life skills assistants, works collaboratively to create care plans that address each resident’s physical, emotional, and social needs. An ongoing relationship is maintained between the residents, their families, and Community Health Choice Support Coordinators, ensuring that care programs continually evolve in alignment with residents’ aspirations and growing independence.
The environment at Whitemarsh House is intentionally structured to support recovery and stability for those living with the effects of neurological challenges. Many younger adults who have survived stroke, traumatic brain injury, or who have a diagnosis such as autism spectrum disorder, often require a degree of care and structured support not typically available in standard residential environments. Whitemarsh House is designed to meet these needs, providing both therapeutic and recreational opportunities. Residents are encouraged to engage in a variety of community activities, fostering social skills, sensory-motor development, and meaningful connections that are vital to healing and reintegration.
Central to the daily experience at Whitemarsh House is the Structured Day Program, an adaptable schedule of therapeutic and life skills services tailored to each individual. The program includes cognitive therapy, social and sensory-motor skill development, and purposeful activities aimed at reducing maladaptive behaviors and building confidence. The clinical director, nurse manager, case manager, and psychologist work as a dedicated team to support every resident’s journey, ensuring that realistic expectations for progress are maintained while nurturing an environment of empathy and mutual respect.
Whitemarsh House is more than just a care facility; it is a supportive and empowering community. The staff is committed to breaking down the stigma that often surrounds neurological and mental health conditions, embracing each resident’s input and fostering an inclusive atmosphere. Through thoughtful care, individualized support, and a genuine dedication to enhancing quality of life, Whitemarsh House truly feels “Just Like Home” for all who live there.
