About
This redevelopment of a former 1960’s nursing home created a total of 82 treatment beds in a net-zero facility that prioritizes dignity and safety for both patients and staff. The behavioral health center was purposefully located in a demographically diverse city to take a meaningful step forward in addressing treatment disparities among underserved populations.
The ongoing mental health crisis in Massachusetts is deteriorating the collective welfare of communities, and stems from a lack of licensed treatment beds along with an extraordinary workforce crunch. The Behavioral Health Center addresses both by contributing licensed beds to the healthcare ecosystem while creating a healing environment where staff feel safe and valued.
