Patients participate in a variety of rehabilitation exercises
that promote increased motivation and concentration.
The rehabilitation day begins with an informal breakfast
meal to ensure that each patient begins the day with adequate nutrition,
hygiene, and orientation. Staff lead discussions concerning goals
and how to apply new skills to achieve success in the day’s
work. Patients then participate in groups. This is designed to promote
motivation, teamwork, social skills, and initiative. The patients
participate in physical
exercises that require
them to behave in a manner that fights against their apathy and inactivity.
The Rehabilitation Program provides state of the
art rehabilitation and treatment services to individuals with schizophrenia
and other chronic mental illnesses. The treatments use neuropsychological
principles to help patients improve their cognitive abilities and
motivation. As these skills are developed, the patients are then helped
to improve the quality of their lives by finding jobs or other meaningful
and productive activity in their communities. Our residential program
meets the needs of a wide range of people affected by mental illness.
