Kirk Davis Center at Lakemary - Hoefer Welker

Written by Hoefer Welker | October 12, 2023

The Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility at Lakemary creates a welcoming, supportive and therapeutic environment for the 24/7 treatment of children and young adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities and psychiatric disorders.

 

 

The evidence-based design seamlessly integrates mental health and wellness services to create a comprehensive campus that artfully balances the need for safety and security, operational and staffing efficiency, healing and rehabilitation, and empowerment and autonomy.

 

 

The program includes a 40-bed residence hall, dining hall, social and recreation spaces, private contemplative and de-escalation areas, educational spaces, and a wide variety of opportunities for outdoor engagement. Careful design selections promote a calm, warm, home-like environment that considers sensory and safety needs, supports family visitation, and improves and supports the staff’s day-to-day experience.
