Psychiatric Health Facility

The Psychiatric Health Facility is a 16-bed, 24-hour acute non-medical facility. The facility provides a safe environment for voluntary and involuntary clients needing acute care for mental illness to receive support and treatment. During an average stay of 3 to 5 days, professional staff and clients work together to restore and maintain each individual's optimal physical and emotional well-being in a therapeutic atmosphere. Each individual and their family are encouraged to actively participate in their own care, and treatment planning. In addition, the staff works toward returning the individual to the best possible existence within the community at the least restrictive level of care. Services include:

• Evaluation and stabilization of acute psychiatric crisis 

• 24-hour nursing care and medication monitoring

• Referrals to appropriate community support and services

• Psychiatric consultation
