Our nursing department is staffed around the clock, entirely with licensed RNs and LPNs who have experience in the Behavioral health field. The Director of Nursing is a degreed nurse with extensive behavioral care experience. Our nurses work side by side with the physicians and residential staff to provide holistic care to our clients. The nurses are actively involved with the clients on their units as well as being full participators in inter-disciplinary meetings concerning the clients.
