Home Community Based Service- Adult Mental Health

We take on an innovative approach to transitioning individuals to successfully integrate into the communities. We collaborate with the participant, referral sources, contracted service providers and Recovery Managers to manage client's individual plans of care. In the event Kinship Place is unable to provide direct services, contracted agencies in the community will be utilized.  

Kinship Place is a residential service organization that embraces a multidisciplinary approach to caring for individuals with special challenges. Kinship Place provides HHS regulated services through a Medicaid funded program, Home Community Based Services- AMH (HCBS-AMH). Kinship Place provides a broad array of transitional and residential services to individuals that have experienced tenure in psychiatric institutions, multiple arrest or emergency room visits. We offer a unique approach to connecting individuals with the services and support that they need to meet their individual goals and ultimately thrive in the community. Kinship Place serves as a first line resource, in partnership with Recovery Managers for our clients. We also coordinate with contract service providers that offer specialized services like peer support, employment specialist, registered nurses and counselors. We manage individualized care plans, monitor and evaluate our resident's needs and progress continuously.
