Details: La Casa Junny, Inc. is AMPI’s first home for people with intellectual disabilities. It was named after Junny, the older brother of our executive director, who had been the motivation that encouraged her mother to create AMPI and that later encouraged Esther to follow on her footsteps, to serve this very special population. Junny died in February 2002 at the age of 49. In addition to his intellectual disability, Junny was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, which prevented him from walking. His condition was the result of a premature delivery at 28 weeks gestation, the result of a tragic fall. At the time of Junny’s mother’s death, on December 24, 2000, a search for a home to serve Junny ensued. This was the first time that the problem of housing arose, thus making it a new challenge for AMPI’s administration. It is important to know that the law prohibits people with intellectual disabilities from being placed in nursing homes. This, because the needs of both populations are completely different. La Casa de Junny has the capacity to house up to a maximum of 6 adult women with mild intellectual disabilities. The population served comes from very low-income families, since the program is sponsored by the Federal Housing Department and is aimed at serving populations in economic need. The home is an oasis for the residents. Each resident has its own private room. They share common facilities within the home that include three bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room, terrace, patio, laundry area, among others. The home is located in a quiet residential area, which makes it a safe and pleasant place for this type of population. The staff that serves the residents is comprised of a case manager who takes care of all the needs of the home and the individual needs of the residents. These services called supportive services include coordination of medical, dental and psychological services, social services, educational services, recreational activities, personal needs, transportation, acquisition of personal property and any other need that the residents require. The home also provides housekeepers who prepare and educate residents in all tasks of daily living, as well as support their education in areas such as crafts, recreational activities, cooking and others. It should be noted that residents can remain in the home indefinitely, as long as their conditions can be attended to by the available staff and, their conduct does not harm the health and general well-being of the other residents.
