Our qualified psychiatric nurses, counselors, and social workers work with mental health professionals, including psychiatrists and psychologists to create a home care plan supporting an individual’s treatment and management of daily life. The individualized care plan will address the needs of the patient in order to maintain a safe and healthy life at home.

We are dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive support for individuals struggling with mental health in Danvers, Massachusetts. Our team understands that mental health challenges can impact every aspect of daily life, which is why we offer personalized care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Our Treatment Process

Proper Diagnosis

Diagnosis is at the core of effective mental health management. Many people who have mental health conditions think their signs and symptoms are a normal part of life –such as reacting to a death or an illness, or they don’t see a doctor or mental health professional out of shame or fear. Seeing a family doctor or making an appointment with a counselor or psychologist offers an assessment to see if the behaviors or feelings are really a mental health condition. We work closely with doctors to ensure the patients are properly diagnosed, and appropriate treatment is being given.

After proper diagnosis, we work with physicians and case managers to create a care plan that best meets the client’s needs.

Medication

Medication plays a major role in managing and treatment of mental health disorders. At PCS, our comprehensive medication management program is designed to help patients at various levels. Some patients may require only reminders, while others may need a lockbox system to administer their medications. In addition to administering medications, we teach patients and their caregivers various topics, including drug safety, side effects, diet, etc.

Monitoring/Assessment

We provide ongoing monitoring of patients on a regular basis. Depending on the need, this can be done as many as two times a day or once a month. During each visit, we monitor the patient’s mood and assess the effectiveness of medications. We also assess social factors that may affect the patient’s mental health. We share our findings with the physicians on an ongoing basis. We make adjustments to the care plan regularly to reflect the changes in the patient’s status.
