Multi-Sensory Garden Project
- For
years we thought about how to take advantage of the
beautiful grounds at St. Edmond’s Home. The garden includes
child and allergy friendly plants and trees landscaped
around wheelchair accessible paths. Interactive musical
stimuli were installed that are user friendly to the
children. A playground and a quiet prayer area provide the
borders of the garden that surround the Home. |

All Purpose Room
-
In 1996, a 10,500 square foot addition at a cost of ~ $1.3
million dollars was built which was funded by grants and
monies raised by the Women’s Auxiliary. This building was
formally dedicated on May 13,
1997. This addition added six program areas for treatments
and therapies, and a large atrium area suitable for large
group activities. Various types of specialized equipment
were included in the program rooms to enhance medical,
social, and physical therapies. |

Hallways Redone -
The walls in
the hallways of each wing were
previously covered in carpet which became unsanitary.
The carpet was removed and a new
washable surface was installed. Floors and ceilings
were also redone. Each hall was painted to carry the theme
out from each playroom that adjoined it. |

 |
Playrooms Redone in Girls’ and Boys’ Wings
- The
playrooms are at the end of each wing in which the children
often eat, listen to music, relax, and meet visitors. Each
room was redone to provide cabinet space for equipment,
toys, etc. New furniture was installed and the rooms
were decorated in a cheerful, colorful theme. |
