Program Info
As residential health care providers, we are committed to enriching our individuals' lives by promoting a helpful and supportive environment. Our intent is to support and assist the individuals in achieving their desired level of recovery within their desired wellness domains. In addition to recovery orientation, the goal of the residential program is to provide skills teaching, education, encourage personal growth and increased demonstration of independence within activities of daily living so the resident can integrate into the community to a residence of their choice. While they remain in the residential program, the goal is to provide the least restrictive but most clinically appropriate structured setting. Our combined efforts will promote physical and mental health, and increase social support identification and engagement resulting in a dramatic decrease in the need for further psychiatric hospitalization.
