The Rehabilitation Homes operating under DRT are designed as a sanctuary for individuals who are homeless, marginalized, or in vulnerable situations. These homes offer a safe space and essential services to those who have been abandoned or have no means of support, including the elderly, people with disabilities (PwDs), and individuals living with chronic illnesses like HIV. Traditionally, Rehabilitation Homes have focused on providing basic shelter, food, and medical care. However, the needs of residents are often more complex, requiring a holistic approach that addresses not only their physical but also their emotional, social, and vocational needs.
This Rehabilitation Homes distinguishes itself by addressing the prevalent gaps in conventional care through a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach. The medical units provide extensive healthcare services, including general medical care, psychiatric support, and specialized treatments like physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and dialysis. Regular checkups, daily nursing care, and palliative services for critically ill residents ensure that all medical needs are met with dignity.
In addition to healthcare, the home offers robust rehabilitation services that focus on recovery and skill development through neurorehabilitation, vocational training, and therapeutic programs designed to enhance both physical and mental well-being. Recognizing the importance of economic independence, residents are also supported through livelihood programs that offer vocational training and job placement services, alongside income generation initiatives such as soap and detergent production.
The home’s commitment extends beyond its walls, engaging with local networks to support vulnerable groups, particularly those living with HIV, thereby ensuring that care reaches a broader community. Furthermore, the home caters to specialized groups, including people with disabilities, individuals requiring long-term care, those needing emergency and medical recovery, and persons living with HIV, providing personalized care aimed at fostering recovery, reintegration, and a renewed sense of purpose and independence.
