Nursing care is at the highest level. The psychiatrist makes rounds up to seven times per week. When possible, clients should possess the ability to help identify treatment goals and collaborate with their treaters toward those goals. Adults with dual diagnosis typically require this intensive level of care. Intermediate residential care is designed for clients who require significantly less nursing supervision and have the ability to participate in therapeutic groups and activities.
Clients meet with their psychiatrist at least three to five times per week.
Basic residential care serves adults who demonstrate independent daily functioning and medication usage while needing support and supervision for occasional difficulties. Psychiatrists' rounds occur at least one to three times during the week. This level is ideal for clients making the transition from residential care to less-intensive services or to their home. The multidisciplinary staff have in-depth experience diagnosing and treating persons with persistent mental illnesses. They work as a team with each patient, their family, and other caregivers.
