Intensive Residential Care Program Sample Clauses

Intensive Residential Care Program. The Intensive Residential Care (IRC) Program is a program in the Willow Xxxx Care Center facility specializing in residential care for chronically mentally ill elderly and adults who are unable to maintain traditional residential placement because of chronic behavioral problems. It is oriented to those residents who need an intermediate placement before returning to a board and care, or those who are transitioning from an acute psychiatric inpatient program, I.M.D. or State Hospital. The IRC Program provides intensive staff supervision, continuous resident redirection, increased social interaction with peers and staff, structured opportunities for development of social skills, a safe environment to explore and improve functional capacities and preparation for transition to a lower level of care. The primary objective of the IRC Program is to assess and evaluate each resident and develop an individualized care plan focusing on maintaining psychiatric stability and assisting the resident to preserve placement at the lowest level of care possible. Residents in the IRC program are reviewed weekly by the multidisciplinary team to determine the resident’s progress and to facilitate and develop a transition plan to a lower level of care when appropriate.
