New vitae wellness and recovery Reviews

Your children may get horseback rides with the CEOs grandchildren. Meanwhile, what good has that done for the residents? You run through staff, like water through a sieve. Completely expendable to you. The obvious is pointed out to you and what you give back, is past the point of dismissive and well into the territory of gas lighting. When an employee goes missing, you shut down the pay site/ (allegedly) Credible. But, you don't mount a search. You don't call authorities. Don't contact the missing employee's emergency contact. And, when called out on that sorry excuse for an approach, you get angry and send that employee home without pay. You take (2) rounds of bed bugs and by accounts of (non administrative) staff, you leave confusion in your wake. You offer undercooked meat to the MTM residents. And, those residents, when asked, accepted that. THAT is what you foster in them. You don't encourage self-esteem/advocacy. You encourage status quo. It's good because you provide the basics.

The pros are the under-staff. The drivers, mentors, drivers, PCAs. People that kick ass despite what management throws at them. The Chef at Quakertown House.

I am content in knowing the benefit why I never became a resident here. 10-years-ago, I very well should have. But, I too, would have been content with status quo. Sitting down to undercooked sausage. Saying to a mentor, "it is what it is".

I'd think, you would all think, your residents/employees are due better than that.

Truly the best that this area has to offer. Questionable funding practices in the past/present. A nearby arts center. All the chaos in between. Advertised with nice/shiny videos on youtube.

How MTM Handled the Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 was devastating in many ways. The lack of information about the virus and all that went along with it made it difficult for people to understand what was going on. Despite the lack of information provided to the public by the CDC, the company was able to use the given information and use it to operate in a safe environment. Staff and clients felt safe being there because of the quick and thought-out plans that were put into place. The company did a great job throughout the entire course of the pandemic. My experience with working for this company through this pandemic has made me proud to be a part of the staff. When speaking to my friends who worked at different personal care homes, I learned that new policies were not immediately set in place and their outcomes were unfortunately much different. I don t think anyone could have been prepared to shut down in the beginning of March 2020. About a year later and there are still obstacles to face but the way the company handled the situation from the very beginning has made every day easier.

There were many new procedures and guidelines put into place. Some of which were per CDC and others per the company. Any and all new procedures or guidelines put into place were all discussed accordingly. Things were explained in detail to staff. Clients were also given information. Trainings were administered accordingly as well. Training for the proper way to wear PPE was given immediately along with being fitted for N95 masks. Surgical masks, face shields, and gowns were given immediately. Staff and residents were split into zones to lessen cross contamination. Unfortunately, visitations were stopped from anyone who was not a client or staff member. Trips out into the public and community were also stopped to decrease the chances of bringing the virus into the building. Even though there were many activities that were stopped, there were other activities that increased. All activities that increased or were added were all in their own zones. Staff and clients were tested on a weekly basis. If a client tested positive, they were immediately moved to a different building. Fortunately, there were only a few clients that tested positive for COVID.

Since new policies were immediately put into place at the start of the pandemic, staff felt safe when working at MTM. Moral was great as we all worked together to keep clients and staff as safe and healthy as possible. The company showed their appreciation to staff by giving weekly gifts which were amazing. Staff was also given monthly bonuses.

This pandemic has been a life changing down fall for the entire world. But this company, along with staff, has made it much easier to get through for everyone, but most importantly, easier for the clients.

I have worked with New Vitae for many years, professional staff and terrific leadership. I would highly recommend choosing New Vitae for you or your loved ones mental health stability!

I have been working for New Vitae (Quakertown House)for a few years now and have loved it since I started. It is the first job I have ever had where I don't mind going everyday and look forward to it, even. The rest of the staff are wonderful and it is like a big family here. I feel that way about the residents as well. I made a decision to go back to school so I can move up within the company because I plan to stay with New Vitae and make this job my career. The owners ( Adam and Donna Devlin) are very much involved on an everyday basis with the staff and residents and do everything they can to show us they appreciate us. They are compassionate and passionate. My supervisor and the Director of Operations ( Brian Considine) is the best boss in the world! Go Brian! Katie Brown is our administrator and she is great too! We are a family here and I feel lucky to have found this place.

Our son has been at New Vitae for a little over a year. Both his mental illness and drug addictions have been addressed by the staff. Both his mother and I are extremely appreciative of the care has been given to him. We have been through a number of hospitals, crisis clinics and institutes over the last 10 years. None of them to date has helped him achieve what he has with New Vitae.
The staff is terrific. His team leader Marc, his therapist, Briana, and his psychiatrist Dr. Behar to name the direct support staff. However, we have found the therapeutic approach to be supportive for our son and us. We would highly recommend this facility and support staff for both mental health and recovery.

Terrible experience all around. Company will sue you for voicing your opinion so I cannot express all the corruption that exists here. My advice - RUNNN! Not worth the experience and I wouldn t put my worst enemy in their care. (Allegedly 4+ wrongful deaths being covered up by owners and CEO) Apparently - years ago the company changed it s name (tri county respite) because the state saw such severe neglect of residents in their care. CEO to HR to owners - none are in this business for the right reasons. They see paychecks instead of HUMANS who desperately need care and compassion. All just my (and many others) opinion! Past reviews are from current brainwashed employees.

I have worked for New Vitae for just under 20 years, I plan on retiring from here! We are so much more then a great place to work we are a great community! My niece rides horses with the CEO's daughter, my daughter was in dance class with the owners daughter. We are truly one big family!
Its a great thing to grow with a company! I look forward to going in to work everyday, how many people can say that during these tuff times?? If you are looking for a career , if you are looking for a place to grow. If you want to matter and not be just a number in some huge company then come check out New Vitae tell them Brian sent you!
NEW VITAE STRONG!

Highly protective of its patients concerning COVID-19. The patients are served meals and have staff get groceries from the store. The apartments are all nice. I haven t seen any violence in a 6 month stay here as a patient. Work is possible. Staff tends to psychological needs whether it be something that is going on today or twenty years ago. Co-occurring IOP options. Set in multiple beautiful facilities in Pennsylvania. The doctor got the medicine cocktail right within a month. I get great sleep because of it,and no longer consider myself an insomniac. Strong encouragement to adhere to the rules is always apparent making for more productive members of society who can empathize with all those in mental health and beyond. Staff is forgiving for previous behavior and no grudges are held. When I move on from here fully recovered I will be able to enter society well because of much of the housing and its staff who are so dedicated that it gives the patient something to aspire towards.

My son is 24 and has autism. He has been seeing both a therapist and Dr. Behar over at New Vitae Wellness and Recovery in Quakertown for a number of years now. My husband and I feel grateful that this type of therapy is available to our son, and that it is so convenient for all of us. The work that the team at New Vitae has done with our son has helped him not only to become successfully employed, but also has helped to increase his level of self-confidence immensely. Thank you all so much!

Our family has been blessed to find New Vitae. The Pathways program is by far the most wonderful fit we could ever dream of for our son. Trust me when I say there are many sub-par options available for clients who want to live independently with support, but New Vitae has given our son the freedom and dignity he has been looking for. We are incredibly grateful for this place and mostly for their amazing staff who are respectful, smart, helpful and truly invested in the lives of their clients. I have never seen such dedication and loving attention to every aspect of care. We could go on and on about each member of our son's team but suffice it to say that we are beyond grateful for New Vitae. They offer a new way of living, free from judgement and full of support, mentorship and the perfect balance between independence and support. New Vitae has helped our son achieve something he never thought possible; to find meaningful work and to live a productive and independent life at his full potential. At New Vitae, it's all about the people.

My brother has lived at QT House for decades and has really good relationships with the staff there - as do I. His social workers have become like family to my brother.
