Day Rehabilitation/Day Support (MH Service)

Frontier House and Pioneer House Day Rehabilitation Programs provide a safe, structured environment for adults diagnosed with a severe and persistent mental illness using the clubhouse model. The programs are designed to enhance each participant’s ability to interact and live successfully in the community. The programs offer individuals the opportunity to:

• Attend education and group discussion about mental illness, diagnosis, treatment and recovery, skills related to coping, daily living, community living, nutrition, recreation and healthy living, as well as social skills, vocational skills, etc.
• Decrease hospitalization frequency and duration.
• Gain support, understanding and acceptance of mental illness.
• Enjoy a nutritious breakfast and lunch daily.
• Access public and program transportation.

Frontier House and Pioneer House offer both day rehabilitation and day support services. Day rehabilitation is a structured program in which the participant attends regularly, and for a minimum of three hours per visit. Participants in day rehabilitation have a care coordinator assigned who assists them in developing an individualized treatment plan that includes goals the participant wants to work on while in attendance. Day support is designed as a drop-in service. It is less structured, and participants in day support do not have an individualized treatment plan or goals specific for their attendance and participation. Day support is available any time Frontier House or Pioneer House is open. A day rehab care coordinator can help determine which level of care is appropriate for an individual.

The clubhouses are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with activities scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Frontier House also offers evening and weekend hours as announced.
