Social Clubhouse is a partial care day program for adults diagnosed with mental illness. We're open daily Monday through Friday from 9:10 am to 3:50 pm. Our warm and friendly atmosphere is what sets us apart from other programs. Our primary focus is to assist our members in finding their strengths and potential in order to enjoy an improved quality of life.

The positive environment of our partial care day program and gentle, caring staff foster a sense of purpose and meaning in the lives of our members. We work with them to develop their sense of identity. We encourage our members to take control over their own recovery. Our caring staff and comprehensive program empower our members to visualize and achieve thier own state of wellness and recovery. Our program is flexible and designed to meet the individual needs of every member. We assist our members in becoming part of their communities and support them in taking positive steps toward more independence. Family, caregivers and peers are encouraged to participate in each member's recovery plan. We've found that providing a caring and respectful environment has been the key to success in helping our members reach their goals.
