St. Anthony's Home is an assisted living home and helps those disabled from
HIV/AIDS with the tasks of daily living through funding from the Emergency
Shelter Grants Program. The home is managed by the Immunological Support Program
(ISP), which offers medical, educational, social, physical, psychological and
spiritual assistance to anyone infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. St. Anthony's
residents usually do not require hospitalization, but are unable to live alone.
Assistance in dealing with emotional issues, navigating complex insurance
program, and medical systems are provided. The home is staffed by a site
manager, Master’s level social workers, and several certified nursing assistants
along with staff members that are present 24 hours daily, which are also, funded
by the ESGP. Services are offered in a safe and nonjudgmental setting for
persons 18 years of age and older who are homeless and disabled due to their
HIV/AIDS status. Staff members are consistently trained specifically on the care
of its residents.
