Broderick Street Adult Residential
Facility: RAMS
provides board & care, mental health, and medical support services at the
Broderick Street Adult Residential Facility (BSARF), which is licensed by
the California Department of Social Services - Community Care Licensing
Division. The program operates in partnership with the Housing & Urban
Health (HUH) and Community Behavioral Health Services (CBHS) sections of San
Francisco Department of Public Health (SF DPH) and can accommodate 33
adults. This is a community-based home for individuals who are struggling
with both mental and medical illness. Due to lack of sufficient resources
and support, many BSARF residents might otherwise be living in hospitals,
institutions, or be homeless. The multi-disciplinary, caring, and committed
staff and program structure provides residents with stability, group and
individual activities, safety and support, while participating in a healing
community that nourishes a sense of balance and meaning both in the world
and in themselves. This facility provides long-term stay for clients who are
dual and triple diagnosed and hard-to-place, with some of whom are
monolingual Asian Americans. Treatment services, therapeutic activities,
language-capacity, acupuncture, food and leisure activities are tailored to
fit the various needs of the client population. Bilingual services are
offered, as is the opportunity for clients to work with the
Hire-Ability Vocational Services. Admission into the Broderick Street
Adult Residential Facility is facilitated through SF DPH-CBHS, Community
Programs Placement team.
Francis Residential Care Home: RAMS provides and facilitates the bilingual mental health services & cultural activities component to the residents of Francis Residential Care Home, which is a 24-hour, Asian-focused residential care facility for consumers with mental health disabilities.
