About Albert O. Nichols House – Herkimer
The Albert O. Nichols House of Beacon Center is located in Herkimer, New York. The house is a community reintegration program that offers a supportive living environment for men. They make sure that their care is affordable and that they reaffirm everyone’s self worth. I like that they hold the staff up to certain standards. The staff must be compassionate, caring and professionally competent.
Before you enter the house, you will be evaluated and you must meet the criteria they have set in place. The main criteria is that you must be in need of outpatient counseling and other supportive services. Some of those supportive services may be parenting training, community living skills, vocational and/or educational programs as well as personal care skills.
Most of the individuals who seek shelter here are either homeless or their living environment is just not conducive to their recovery journey. While you are a resident, you will have recovery goals that you will have to complete and establish a support network. Completing these goals will prepare you to transition back into your own home in the community.
