What provisions are being made in case a resident has a relapse or an acute episode?
There is always the possibility of an acute phase when anyone is being treated for any chronic condition. This is just as true for heart disease or diabetes as it is for mental illness.Each person who lives in Thresholds supported housing has an individual plan designed to meet their specific needs should acute symptoms begin to appear. With mental illness, it is really quite rare for there to be a sudden onset of symptoms. Symptoms appear gradually, signaling a move from what is the person’s “baseline” to a potentially more acute phase. This shift is usually measured over weeks but can be as short as several days.Thresholds staff are well trained to know and identify what to look for and to take steps early to prevent any true acute phase. More importantly, the people to be served at Boeger will be selected to a great extent on their ability to manage their own illnesses. People will qualify for Boeger Place because they are in recovery, self-aware and generally managing quite well. B
