Psychiatric Consultation

A state-licensed Psychiatrist provides medical consultation on a weekly basis. This coverage includes regular monitoring of the medication currently prescribed for residents, and consultation with staff regarding the psychiatric status and treatment progress of residents. If a resident comes to the staff with an ongoing treatment relationship with a psychiatrist in the community, the psychiatric consultant provides ongoing communication and consultation throughout the resident’s stay as a means of preserving that relationship and ensuring continuity of care across the treatment spectrum. Trained Hook Center personnel working at the facility will administer prescribed medications during the resident’s tenure at the facility.
