New Vitae Wellness and Recovery recently broke ground on a new project to provide cutting edge services in a state-of-the-art facility for veterans and others with traumatic brain injuries.
The brick-and-mortar enhancements to New Vitae’s Upper Saucon Township, Lehigh County location will include the construction of eight-bed cottages that will offer the safety and structure provided by 24/7 staffing while encouraging and supporting each individual’s progress toward their self-defined life goals.
While not increasing the total number of beds available at the Mount Trexler Manor/Action Recovery site, this project brings more housing options for veterans and others looking for progressive brain injury care in home-like settings. Each cottage will be self-sufficient and ADA accessible, with bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry facilities, a medication room, kitchen, community area, learning lab and smart technology.
State legislators helped New Vitae to secure $1 million in Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) grant funding for the project to make this vision a reality. The state’s RACP grant program supports economic, cultural, and civic improvement projects that have widespread impact and generate or sustain jobs and economic activity.
