Direct Care
Direct Care at Avalon Hills provide support, guidance and role modeling for clients as they work to recover a normal healthy relationship with food and with their bodies. Newly admitted clients are gently supervised by highly trained staff as they encounter difficult meals, body image challenges, and eat out challenges. Direct Care staff “pulses” right along with clients 24 hours a day, always ready with an encouraging word, a shoulder to cry on, or shared laughter. Direct Care staff accompany clients on activities in the community such as theater and musical performances, movies and other cultural events. Additionally, staff participate with clients in activities as varied as equine therapy, animal assisted therapy, skiing, swimming, hiking, canoeing and white water rafting all while modeling behaviors and skills needed to build positive interpersonal relationships. Direct Care is dedicated to providing stability, security and opportunity as clients regain health, confidence, hope and a renewed interest in life….without eating disorders.
