A house with two basements, Blair House once served as a station of the underground railroad. While the facility has been modified to meet standards essential for a group home, the house retains a home-like environment. The large front porch with swings is a favorite gathering place for residents of Blair House. Jerry Neff, MD is the Blair House Psychiatrist. We also have a group of Residential Aides, Overnight Monitors and Interns who complete this staffing plan.
Most referrals come from inpatient settings.
Referrals who do not meet these criteria are considered for other treatment programs at our Center. Admissions decisions are decisions about level and type of treatment needed, rather than a solution to a need for supportive housing, since we are first and foremost a clinical treatment program. Referrals must be made by the current mental health treatment provider. Ten residents at a time reside in this group home and receive treatment services, both at Hoosier House and at our main Center. As indicated by each resident's individualized treatment plan, residents receive case management services, psychiatric services with pharmacotherapy, nursing services, psychotherapeutic services, partial hospitalization program, life skills training, behavioral reinforcement plans, vocational services, money management services and assistance with community reintegration via constructive activities programming.
