ShelterCare’s Crisis Management and Intensive Care programs play a critical role in the system of care for adults with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) in Lane County. Short-term programs help prevent or shorten hospitalization and provide a cost effective and appropriate level of care for individuals who are in crisis, but do not require intensive treatment in a psychiatric hospital setting.

The Heeran Center Residence (HCR) is a safe, structured environment for persons with a mental illness who need a high level of psychiatric care but do not require a hospital environment. The program is a unique partnership between the State Addictions & Mental Health Division (AMH) and ShelterCare. Sixteen adults diagnosed with a severe, persistent mental illness are served. The program provides meals, 24 hour awake staffing, and a daily regimen of therapeutic and skill building activities.
The HCR schedule of therapeutic and recreational activities is provided under the direction of Psychiatric nursing staff. Program activities are designed to maximize stabilization and rehabilitation. HCR has exceeded all clinical projections for effective rehabilitation of mental health clients. The program has provided Lane County residents with a local, less drastic alternative to institutionalization and hospitalization for mental illness rehabilitation and crisis stabilization. With families nearby and with a less institutional setting, the individuals served by the HCR program benefit from an improved quality of care in a community setting.
