1. I decided to research the organization called ‘Horizon Homes’ located here in Mankato. Their website is full of information on the types of programs available through their facilities. They have a crisis center, mobile crisis vehicle, inpatient treatment, and home care. This treatment facility aims to “help these individuals develop the skills to become more independent.” (Horizon Homes, 2023). There is a program option for any kind of situation from tapering off medications in a safe environment to needing support through emotional distress.
2. This organization specializes in adults with disabilities and/or mental illness. Age has to be 18 and up, at least 2 past hospitalizations, homelessness, and people who are at risk for a mental health crisis.
3a. The one barrier I could think of is not having a cell phone or phone near you to be able to contact the facility. Other than that they work hard to have the crisis center available 24/7 and they even started a mobile crisis center for individuals that may not be able to drive.

Hi
Great post about Horizon Homes I didn’t realize that they now had mobile crisis service for those that couldn’t. I think it’s pretty amazing that they are able to reach out to those people as well and provide them with the support and care that they need. I read on their website that they offer the mobile crisis team to children as well as adults, once again reaching out to more of the community. I also noticed for their intensive residential treatment, they would need a referral made, which could be a barrier for patients who need a longer stay than what the crisis center offers. I think that as nurses, we can help point the patient in the correct direction for getting that referral and ensure that we do everything within our power to ensure that they get the referrals they need.
Thanks for sharing!
