“Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication. “–Leonardo da Vinci
It has been 27 years since Bartlett House first opened its doors. Over the years our agency has expanded in size and services to meet the needs of our clients. As our clients’ needs changed, so did our service provisions.
Our Logo incorporates the comprehensive services currently offered by Bartlett House, Inc. The “Hands” lifting the “House” symbolizes a “hand up not a hand out” by providing shelter in an atmosphere of dignity, compassion, and respect to those experiencing homelessness. Surrounding the house are the four key services offered by Bartlett House aimed at promoting self-sufficiency while still proving the basic human needs of food and shelter. The upper left hand corner displays a “Graduation Cap” symbolizing the “Life Skills Training Classes” offered at Bartlett House. These classes include topics from parenting classes to money management and budgeting. The upper right hand corner displays a “Caduceus” representing the importance of medical and psychological referrals as carried out by the case managers of our agency. Our staff connects our clients with the necessary services of Milan Puskar Health Right, Valley Mental Health, Chestnut Ridge Hospital, Medicaid and Medicare, hospitals, clinics, treatment facilities and many more. The lower left-hand corner displays the directional facing on a “Compass” symbolizing Bartlett House’s comprehensive Case Management Program. Our clients are provided with a case manager who assists them in developing an individualized “Service Plan”. Service Plans consist of a list of obtainable goals and objectives aimed at addressing the pertinent issues which contributed to each client’s state of homelessness. Service Plans are revised as goals are reached to promote continued growth. Finally, the lower right hand corner displays an “Apple” representing food. Bartlett House staff provides breakfast and dinner Monday through Friday and all three meals on weekends and holidays. In addition, Bartlett House serves as a food pantry to clients as they transition from our shelter to their new home and in emergency situations where food is needed for previous clients.
