Residential Services

Florence House, Harmony House and Stepping Stones are 10-bed group homes open 24 hours a day, seven days a week serving clients with serious mental illness who have significant functional impairment. Residents at Florence House and Harmony House have their own private rooms, and Stepping Stones residents can share a room. All three group homes have shared common spaces, including a living room, dining room, kitchen and bathrooms.

The treatment focus at the group homes is providing the necessary services for residents to develop and maintain the goals achieved in community living and to prevent re-hospitalization. The length of stay is individualized based upon the needs of each client.

Tremont Terrace is a semi-independent HUD-subsidized cluster apartment building with 20 units. Qualified on-site staff members provide skills training, behavioral health counseling, care coordination, medication training and support services 16 hours a day, seven days a week. The Tremont Terrace building has a private owner who holds the lease with the resident. Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center Residential Services maintains the waitlist for Tremont Terrace.

Ritter Supportive Housing is a 45-bed, short-term/acute care transitional housing program that works with clients ages 18 and over with a diagnosis of mental illness and possibly co-diagnosis of substance use who require skills training and care coordination to reach the next step of recovery - independent community living. Length of stay can vary based upon client need but will be shorter than other residential sites due to the transitional care setting.
