| Saint Michael's is a New York State - Department of Health certified residential adult care facility under the aegis of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. The Home is housed in a three-story brick structure which complies with the strict regulations not only of the local Building Department, but also the stringent requirements of the New York Department of Health. Overall, the programs and services of St. Michael's are specifically designed for those individuals who may have decreased powers of mobility and/or mental awareness. While not certified as such, the Home does offer a level of "assisted living" in a Greek Orthodox environment and the staff assists those who need help with certain duties such as bathing, dressing, etc. At all times, every effort is made to maintain the physical and intellectual integrity of the residents while encouraging them to preserve their independence and dignity.

In the story of the Good Samaritan, Christ, in response to the young man who was trying to show how righteous he was, recounts how the Good Samaritan out of his great love and concern for his fellow man helped the person in need. Towards the end of the narrative, (Luke 10:30-37), Jesus states, “and the next day he (i.e., the Good Samaritan) took out two denarii (the denarius was a day’s wages for a laborer) and gave them to the innkeeper saying, ‘Take care of him and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back’ …ending the entire narration with the exhortation "Go and do likewise". Throughout its history, St. Michael's has been abundantly blessed with many Good Samaritans who out of their great love and concern for the elderly, have made it possible for the Home to care for those in need. Because of the generosity of those individuals, St. Michael's is not only able to provide all residents with a level of care not found in other adult homes but also is able to admit those individuals whose only source of income is their meager Social Security check … over half of our residents are unable to pay the regular monthly boarding fee! What alternative would these elderly have if not for the magnanimity of our Good Samaritans who cover the cost of caring for the less fortunate. How diminished the quality of life would be for all our residents if not for the generosity of these friends. |
