Our caring term of providers offers services in psychotherapy, psychiatry and addiction treatment, along with housing for long-term behavioral health clients.

Lake Park Residential Care is a 151-bed care community for long-term mental health care patients, offering a multitude of services including medical, dental and behavioral health care through Regional Health Systems. Residents receive 24-hour non-medical care, medication management and assistance with activities of daily living. Our expert care team will also arrange transportation and provide meals, laundry and housekeeping services. There are numerous benefits to a residential community, and adults often choose somewhere like Lake Park Residential Care because of amenities and programs that foster connection, such as creative arts classes, games, movie nights and outings.
