UNIT 9: TRANSITIONING PATIENTS BACK TO THE COMMUNITY Bridgeways has successfully transitioned patients from Western State Hospital and others from the community into services utilizing one of our novel Madison House units along with intensive staff support. Unit 9 can sleep up to 5 individuals, has a bathroom, and a telephone for local calls. Members can stay up to 28 days and then are moved into more permanent housing once located by the case manager and the Housing and Facilities Manager. The advantages of having Unit 9 at Madison House has already been evident in the successful transition of high-risk patients who would otherwise be relegated to institutional care. Bridgeways holds the distinction of being the only agency in the North Sound RSN to successfully implement such an innovative, re-integrative, and high-intensity program for our most vulnerable clients. Unit 9 is part of a proactive solution to the "10 Year Plan to End Homelessness in Snohomish County" by creating and sustaining a full continuum of services promoting real community reintegration. |
