Invest in Connecticut’s continuum of community-based care before it’s too late
For patients who struggle with severe mental illness, behavioral home health can serve as one of the few – if not only – tethers between them and the community in which they live. As part of a broader set of services known as skilled home health care, behavioral home health allows these patients to receive physical and mental health care, as well as medication administration and oversight, from the comfort of their own homes, rather than in large institutional settings such as a skilled nursing facility, residential psychiatric hospital, or correctional institution.
