Residential Services

Creating a safe haven for those suffering with severe mental illness and medical ailments.

A Holistic Safe Environment

Our Residential Program is a holistic program that ensures a safe environment for those suffering with comorbidities including persistent severe mental illness and medical ailments. The program consists of two Supportive Living facilities and two Medically Fragile facilities. These facilities exist to provide and facilitate housing, nutrition, mental health, and medical services for adult individuals 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Step Up Incentive

Our Residential Program offers a step up incentive to its members. Once the member has completed their goal at the medically fragile facility the member can step up to a supportive living facility with the intention to progress to one of Carey Counseling Center’s independent living houses. With this step up program, a safety net is provided with continuing case management. If it is determined that a member is not coping at a more independent level of care, the member can return to the more controlled environment of the medically fragile or standard supportive living housing facility.
