    Residential Program

    For approximately 35-40 days, Traurig House becomes a resident's home. A genuine living laboratory and therapy space where they master activities of daily living (ADLs) such as cooking, making one's bed, laundry, social skills, problem-solving, social graces, medication management and compensatory strategies. Each weekend they go home to put those skills to the test. Family and staff work together weekly to identify areas for improvement to help the resident reach maximum function, independence and a successful discharge.

    Community Reintegration

    The goal of independence is central to the Traurig House experience. To achieve that goal, residents work with their therapists in a group to organize community out trips. From choosing the activity/destination, to researching cost, hours, transportation, departure times, accessibility to actually going on the trip, our residents learn how to successfully navigate the world around them.
