Westwinds Board and Lodge Westwinds Board and Lodge will be a long term housing situation for mentally ill adults. Target Population  The average Westwinds resident will have an SPMI diagnosis.  They will probably have extensive experience with the mental health system. They will have demonstrated difficulty in maintaining stability in an independent living situation.  They will probably be eligible for medical assistance, although this in not necessarily a requirement as long as they can afford the room and board fee. Staffing  There will be overnight staff 7 nights per week.  Sleeping will be allowed.  In addition, there will be a ¾ time staff during the week.  This person will work 12 to 6 PM .  Their duties will include supervision of clients, making sure food is prepared and the house is clean, and coordinating appointments, etc.  There will also be ARMHS staff on site at various times delivering services to individuals and possibly groups—up to a total of 48 hours per week total. Cost Room and board fees will be $1186/mo.  The client is responsible for this fee.  If they can not afford it GRH will pay the balance; leaving the client with the standard personal needs amount. Transportation When possible Westwinds staff or ARMHS staff may provide transportation.  However, this should not be an expectation at all times.  Public transportation will probably have to be used on a regular basis.
