Our Community Residence programs provide 24/7 support in a home-like setting for those struggling with mental health concerns. We offer assistance with all aspects of recovery with a goal to live as independently as possible in the community.
Your day-to-day living experience includes:
One-on-One Support
Residents work individually with their personal Rehabilitation Coach (RC) to develop a person-centered service plan. They meet at least two to three times per week but more frequently, if needed.
Daily Living Skills
Staff and residents work together to acquire the skills and abilities needed to maintain the primary activities of daily life such as personal hygiene and grooming, preparation of food, cleaning and washing clothes, budgeting and money management.
Medication Oversight
Staff educate the residents on how to order, store and self-administer their medications. The goal is to help the resident to have a full carry order and manage their own medications.
Linkage to Community Supports
Linkages to resources in the community such as care management, psychiatrist, mental health therapist, primary care physician, and dentist, are part of a regular wellness routine.
Community Outings
Opportunities for residents to participate in community activities such as attending sporting events, cultural festivals, recreational activities, and educational classes, etc. are ongoing.0
