In 1980, ACP pioneered the practice of seeing clients in long-term care facilities, nursing homes, independent and assisted living residences, short-term rehab, and transitional care units.
As one of the first practices in the country to take this approach, we helped demonstrate that these are unique clients and environments that require specialized care. Today at ACP, our clinicians are leading experts in the field of geropsychology and in providing tailored mental health services in specialized care environments.
By going to clients in their own environment, our clinicians provide treatment without increasing stress or causing a disruption in regular care. And we don’t just observe clients, we observe the world our clients live in—their homes—and thus treat them more effectively and with dignity and respect.
Our team of clinicians works closely with residents, their families, professional caregivers, physicians, and facility staff to provide integrated clinical services.
We continue to be at the forefront of integrated mental health services. We work closely with facilities to maximize the quality of life and well-being of their residents. Our providers specialize in working with individuals who may suffer from multiple losses, physical and cognitive decline, dementia, depression, anxiety, traumatic brain injury, substance abuse, schizophrenia, and more.
Residential mental health services that we provide include:
- Diagnostic assessment and treatment planning
- Trauma-informed individual psychotherapy (as well as group therapy)
- Psychiatric medication assessment and monitoring
- Psychological testing
- Education and staff training, including consultation on behavior management
- Regulatory compliance consultation for risk management
- Family consultation, therapy, and education
- And so much more!
