CONTINUITY OF CARE AND RESIDENTIAL SERVICES
Individuals with severe and persistent mental illness often have difficulty accessing safe, affordable housing.
Need for structure, staff support, and intervention often adds to the challenge of living situations. Birch provides a continuum of
care that includes residential services, assistance with accessing safe and affordable housing, provision of staff support when needed,
and the most independent living environment possible for each individual it serves.
Residential settings range from an intensive, highly structured Crisis Unit to independent living in the community.
The care continuum facilitates the eventually assimilation of individuals into community living, based on individual stage of
recovery, preferences, and accessibility.
Staff supported small group homes located near program locations offer members supervision and opportunities for learning
independent living skills that can help them transition into more independent living situations. Smaller branches offer group
home living that provides small, home-like environments where members have their own bedrooms. Larger branches offer
community-integrated housing opportunities, ranging from staff supported to completely independent living situations. Birch owns
and operates several community-based apartment complexes that provide members with opportunities to live in new, safe, affordable
and attractive homes.
Levels of staff support for members range from one-on-one staff support all the time, to at-will requests for services on an as-needed basis.
Residential settings are determined based on each individual’s acuity level, need for structure/support, preferences, and independent
living skills.
