Roosevelt Place & Frazier House
Overview
Valeo’s transitional program consists of two locations, Roosevelt Place and Frazier House, which are licenses residential care facilities with sixteen (16) beds designed for transitional living for any adult individual who needs intensive support and structure while re-integrating to their community. We target residents of Shawnee County who suffer from a severe persistent mental illness, and who have shown the inability to maintain community tenure without the use of higher levels of structure such as State Psychiatric Hospitals or NFMHs. Our program acts as a diversion from these types of placements and supports reintegration while working towards independence. Medicaid covers the treatment services. A sliding scale applies for all others based on ability to pay. Individuals using Roosevelt Place or Frazier House will be responsible for the monthly housing fees.
Our Team Approach and Program Philosophy
Our program philosophy is to provide a community-based service for adults needing support and structure while re-integrating into their community and working towards independence. Our role is to provide a safe, supportive place where individuals can stay after discharging from psychiatric hospitalization or NFMHs, or individuals at risk of losing community tenure due to decompensating from their mental illness. An individualized treatment plan is developed for everyone choosing to stay at our transitional house. The plan is based on that individual’s strengths, needs, abilities and preferences. We educate and offer wellness recovery action planning to all individuals who choose to accept this.
Assessment of ongoing needs is done throughout the transitional stay with input between the consumers and treatment team. Referral to other services (either at Valeo or private community treaters) is done at the consumer’s request and staff recommendation.
Collaboration is considered essential to the treatment process, both in the consumer/staff relationship and in the inclusion (as approved by the consumer) of the family members, other care providers and community resources.
