Meals

We provide three meals and three snacks each day. Please inform the staff of any dietary considerations, food preferences, or allergies your loved one may have so we can do our best to accommodate.

Crisis Intervention

Any kind of violence, real or pretend, including verbal threats, is not accepted on the unit. We do not allow cursing, yelling, or inappropriate sexual behavior. In the event that any of these behaviors occurs, staff intervention may be necessary. Our staff are highly trained in verbal and physical de-escalation strategies, and will only use these tactics when absolutely necessary.
