Residential Care Facility

Our residential care facilities provide supportive and skill-building services to adults with functional limitations caused by chronic mental illness, intellectual disability or medical conditions. Services include 24-hour staffing, medication management, on-site visits by the psychiatrist, transportation to local medical appointments, on-site and community activities and skill building.

Following a mental health crisis, an individual may not be ready to re-enter a community setting. A RCF may help the individual prepare for more independent living. The individual will receive help on setting up goals to be accomplished during their stay and assessing what supports may be needed when they go back to the community. They may be learning how to better manage their health and practicing skills needed for their recovery journey. An individual will learn more about their diagnoses, how different conditions or symptoms manifest and how they affect different aspects of a person’s wellness. This information helps the person and their team develop and individualize their crisis plan. An emphasis will be placed on behavior modification, teaching individuals healthy ways of coping with mental illness symptoms and walking alongside them while they practice those safe and healthy coping skills. As recovery varies with each person and is individualized, a person may be at our RCF 3-6 months.
