Behavioral Health at Home is a program offering comprehensive psychiatric nursing services to patients with mental health disorders. Our Behavioral Health RN’s skilled nurse visit targets patient specific diagnosis, reduces the need for urgent and emergent inpatient psychiatric care, as well as improves patient overall well-being. In order to serve as an RN for our Behavioral Health Program, RNs must have a minimum of one full-time year in an active psychiatric treatment center or outpatient clinic to qualify.

If placed in our Program, our nurse collaborates with you, your family and your physician to complete an individualized plan of care. The plan details which therapy, health care and personal care services are necessary to support you in regaining and maintaining a superior quality of life.
