ADULT COMMUNITY SERVICES

Mental illnesses are equal opportunity diseases that can happen to anyone at any time. The effects can be debilitating and can sometimes limit a person’s ability to function in daily life. Severe and persistent mental illnesses also impact one’s ability to live an independent life, which most of us take for granted. At Park Center, we offer comprehensive and individualized treatment services in the least restrictive setting, helping people readjust to the community and lead independent lives.

The primary goal of Adult Community Services is to stabilize adult clients experiencing acute psychiatric reactions. Other goals are to monitor and support chronically mentally ill persons and to serve those clients who can benefit from outcome-focused, time-limited, rehabilitative services. Case management services are provided; linking resources, medical, and professional treatment with the goal of promoting self-sufficiency. The continuum of services may include:

Hospital/Inpatient Services - (260) 481-2700
Park Center contracts with a local hospital for inpatient services. The focus is on acute, short-term inpatient treatment. Park Center medical staff provide treatment, and clients are actively linked with Park Center’s services to enable a successful and quick return to the community. Hospital liaison staff are responsible for the case management of the client’s care through the state and local hospital system. Court liaison staff assists clients with the varying needs concerning psychiatric and legal issues, such as involuntary hospitalization and guardianship.

Transitional Care Services - (260) 969-8440
Transitional Care Services (TCS) is a crisis stabilization program.  TCS is a 24-hour, 30 bed, sub-acute, transitional residential unit designed to assist those with serious mental illness and/or substance addicted clients in remaining in the least restrictive environment during episodes of psychiatric decompensation. With the help of annual grants from the Parkview Community Benefit Program, this service promotes a strong continuum of mental health services in the community. 

TCS is designed to prevent reduce hospitalizations and prevent further decompensation.  It also provides respite placement for family caregivers, temporary shelter for mentally ill homeless adults, and temporary placement for clients discharged form state operated facilities.  Emergency services are also coordinated as part of this program.

Case Management Services
Park Center’s Case Management Teams offer two levels of case management services:

Assertive Community Treatment Team (ACT) - (260) 481-2800

The ACT team is designed to work with individuals who experience significant disability from their mental illness. Often, these individuals are resistant to treatment, and are unable or unwilling to participate in office-based services. They may be high users of acute services and may have co-existing substance abuse or criminal justice involvement.

Continuous Treatment Teams: (CTT) - (2160) 481-2850

The Continuous Treatment Teams primarily work with individuals who have reached some level of stability in the community, but still require continuous treatment and monitoring.
