Lakeview’s Residential Program provides a variety of housing options for individuals recovering from the impact mental illness has had on their lives. Each housing option provides support and guidance in regaining skills lost as a result of mental illness and enables individuals to work toward personal goals in a safe, supportive environment. Through the use of an individualized service plan, residential staff assist people in developing the skills necessary to be successful living independently.
Individuals residing in the residential program receive support around areas such as self-advocacy, collaborative decision making, and healthy relationships. Each team of staff introduces resources and provides assistance needed to reach personal goals and develop life management skills.

Each individual has a private room with a bathroom and kitchenette. The SRO does provide meals through its kitchen for those who choose to participate in the meal plan. Program staff provide a range of services that include medication management and daily living skills.

For this reason, both staff and residents have the ability to create service plans based on quality of life goals that do not necessarily revolve around transition to more independent housing.
