JENNINGS LODGE
Jennings Lodge (est. 2012) serves tenants who have chronic mental illness in an independent living environment. For many individuals, stepping down into this level of care is a wonderful achievement and evidence of their hard work and commitment of recovery.
Jennings Lodge has 16 apartments, including both one and two bedroom units. Six of the apartments are supported by intensively staffed programming, which includes daily contact and support from staff QMHAs. The remaining ten units are more minimally structured and designed for tenants who require lower levels of staff support. Staff is available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.
Awake staff are onsite 8am-midnight, with on-call coverage all other hours. The program QMHP is on-site 40 hours a week. The goal of this program is to help individuals manage their mental illness, continue their recovery, and maintain an affordable independent living situation in the open housing market. Flexible, wraparound services such as case management, skills training, supported employment and other outpatient services are tailored to the individuals needs, and are available in the community.
In addition to providing mental health treatment and habilitative care, ColumbiaCare acts as a mental health-friendly landlord. Our Property Management division carries out all property management functions. All apartments qualify for HUD funding. Tenants are responsible for their rent (or a negotiated portion thereof) and all utilities. All tenants are screened for clinical appropriateness both by ColumbiaCare, and the referring agency.
