developmental disabilities

Edgehill and Crosswoods

Exclusively for people with developmental disabilities who are age 45 and older, Sage Senior Services are dedicated to accommodating the choices, interests and abilities of each individual we serve. This unique program is the only one of its kind serving this age group, and we have more than 30 years of experience in this exclusive area of service.

The scope of our services enables us to recognize each participant as a unique individual with personal goals, aspirations and experiences. We identify opportunities specific to the aging population that embrace each person as a dignified and valued member of society.

Program activities include paid work, recreation, leisure, volunteer, socialization, art and health and wellness.

Sage Senior Services are provided at two locations within a continuum of services. Sage at Edgehill provides services over two shifts to active older adults who enjoy working, community activities and retirement activities. The Crosswoods program offers the same philosophy and similar structure as Edgehill, but participants typically have multiple disabilities with increased age related needs. Both locations include personal care assistance, help with behavior issues and ongoing medical monitoring due to declining health and age. In addition, Sage Crosswoods has been successful with serving individuals who have dementia, Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. We recognize that this is an area of growing need.

We believe challenges can be overcome, which is precisely the thinking behind our Work and Behavioral Services program. Here, we reach out to individuals with developmental disabilities who have been diagnosed with both mental retardation and mental illness.

As specialists in this area and with our high staff-to-participant ratios, we are uniquely qualified to help individuals learn work and social skills. We provide adult day support, vocational habilitation, activity groups and socialization programs, all in a safe and caring environment.

Here, the intense needs of every person are met, including comprehensive behavior services and on-site medical assistance.

For additional information, or to arrange a tour please call 614-274-5296. To apply for services, call 614-342-5978.

The Young Adult Services program provides unique and varied opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities, such as mental retardation and cerebral palsy, to become involved in the community. Self-respect, self-worth and the feeling that you are part of something meaningful only begin to describe the rewards of this program.

As an alternative to employment, community involvement can have a positive, long-lasting impact on a person's life. Here, participants will build skills in many areas, from socialization, to health and safety, to self direction. Most importantly, they learn the skills to build interpersonal relationships.

We provide access to the community through a wide range of relationships we've established over the years. Among others, these partners include the YMCA, Jewish Community Center, Ronald McDonald House, recycling centers and food pantries. Program hours are from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at our unique, home-like locations in Gahanna, Berwick and West Columbus.

Referrals to the program can be made through the Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Call 614-342-5978.
