Community Residences (CRs) provide residential support services to adults with mental health diagnoses and other life challenges. RISE community residences foster a safe, supportive, home-like environment. This allows individuals to focus on their individual mental health needs.
RISE has two Community Residences located in Saratoga Springs
Milestone Manor, a Victorian-style house, is located within walking distance of downtown Saratoga Springs.
Our trauma-informed, person centered approach at Milestone Manor honors the unique needs and challenges of each person. We use an Engagement Tracker to measure each resident’s participation in the program. It provides both residents and staff a way to discuss their progress towards meeting their goals.
Rain House is located in a historic residential area also within walking distance of downtown in Saratoga Springs.
Rain House is a home for people with psychiatric disabilities. It is a great place for them to normalize their experience. It provides a social environment for individuals who have similar or the same diagnoses. It helps them see that having a psychiatric disability does not prevent them from living a fulfilling life of their own choosing.
