Clark’s Manor is a multipurpose resource, serving as a landing spot for individuals in need of a stable and supportive living arrangement, as a potential referral source for clinicians, and as an overall benefit to insurers. It is the home away from home you would want for your loved one.
Families in need of this type of specialized care and support can finally receive peace of mind knowing their loved one is being cared for now, and possibly for a lifetime. Previously, families spent years searching for this type of residential care for their loved one only to find it in another part of the country.
Clinicians receive enhanced patient stability and outcomes as Clark’s Manor staff regularly communicate with all practitioners while implementing treatment/care plans.
Insurers realize a significant reduction to high-cost healthcare services such as crisis evaluations and inpatient stabilization. These costs decrease considerably by having well-educated and trained staff implement care plans and prevent regression/relapse of symptoms.
