Ohana Long-term Group Home

In Hawaiian, the word “Ohana” refers to extended family, a community, or circle of friends who share common goals and values. The Ohana House is a place that nurtures that philosophy. The Ohana facility and staff provide a safe place where severely mental ill (SMI) individuals can learn to live independently, alongside other community members on a similar path. It is not a psychiatric treatment facility, but an in-apartment community living program.
The program allows residents to live independently while working towards specific treatment plan goals. These goals may include:

• Development of personal accountability and responsibility
• Development of life skills
• Constructive use of time
• Re-integration into the community

The Ohana staff provides guidance and support as residents learn life skills necessary for independent living, such as caring for themselves and their surroundings, menu planning, financial budgeting, cooking, shopping, laundry, basic personal hygiene, and basic maintenance of living quarters and grounds. In addition, residents have the opportunity to engage with other community members in activities that promote social development and relationship building.

For more information on the program and how it may help you, or a loved one, contact our Rawlins office directly.
