“Community and medical case management were the main components of our services and a key to the success for individuals in stabilizing their medical and mental health. Case management involved identification of needs and the coordination of individual and group services. Staff developed the most appropriate treatment plan for each individual, which acts as a roadmap for their care, while maintaining realistic expectations about their progress. Because all individuals were living with hiv/aids, there was a high need for supportive counseling to deal with stresses of the disease and to provide a forum to learn coping strategies. Staff met regularly with external service providers in case conferences and care coordination. Staff led a number of support groups. On-site groups included: life skills, developing the coping skills necessary to live independently, self-esteem, and decision-making. Off-site activities included cultural and recreational outings. For those individuals for whom outside employment was a viable option, job-readiness activities were tailored to meet their needs. Over the past several years, the demand for the services at maitri has declined, due to the advances in the treatment of hiv and aids, and changing regulatory requirements. As a result, in january 2014 maitri's board of directors authorized management to wind down the maitri adult day health center. The process was completed in april 2014.”
