Riverbend Community Mental Health – Mill House

Riverbend Community Mental Health – Mill House offers inpatient treatment for individuals with a mental health illness. The program includes group therapy, individualized treatment, individual counseling and more. Riverbend Community Mental Health – Mill House is located at Boscawen, New Hampshire.

The Mill House program consists of 19 private (one bedroom and studio) non-smoking apartments for individuals with low-income who are in need of moderate levels of staff support to address their psychiatric symptoms and functional impairments. The program’s goal is to promote recovery and the highest level of independent living.

Three meals and a snack are provided daily for residents. Assistance is given throughout the day through supervision and verbal cues to aid in completion of Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) and to work together on each individual’s treatment plan and goals.

The program provides the necessary residential, psychiatric and rehabilitative services aimed at empowerment and promotion of the person’s active and positive participation in the broader community, for those people who would otherwise be institutionalized, incarcerated, homeless and indigent and display a deteriorating clinical course and a poor quality of life.

Trained residential staff work with tenants provide supportive counseling, symptom management, crisis intervention, medication monitoring, and administration and supervision for residents in their apartments, the facility and the community. These functional Support Services along with safe affordable housing are intended to support individuals who, in their absence, would be at increased risk of homelessness and hospitalization.

The Mill House program is accessible for persons with disabilities and provides 24 hour staff coverage. Priority is given to residents of Boscawen, individuals that may be homeless, and individuals currently residing within Merrimack County or close proximity. It is a collaborative effort between Riverbend Community Mental Health and the Mill House Limited Partnership.
