Behavior Support Services

BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT SERVICES

Since 2014, Pathways of Washington has been providing behavioral health care needs to individuals residing in adult family homes and assisted living facilities. These services bring enhanced care and support provided to adults who have been identified as having exceptional care needs due to behavioral concerns. 

Our services focus on behavioral support to assist individuals residing in long-term care facilities to maintain their physical and mental well-being and overall quality of life. We do this through direct support and training to the individual as well as with the residential staff, providing them with the tools they need in order to keep individuals health, safety and prevention of decompensation that sometimes corresponds with behavioral health disorders. Behavioral management strategies include both formal and/or informal training and consultative support services for individuals relocating or being diverted from state or local psychiatric hospitals, or who are otherwise at risk for loss of community living options due to challenging behaviors. Services also include psychiatric evaluations, ongoing psychiatric medication management and peer support services.
