Life at Eli's Place
Structure combined with meaningful work, therapeutic community engagement, and connection to nature.
Our caring staff will deliver holistic care.
Our social workers, psychologists, and consulting psychiatrists will provide each guest with individual and group-based care.
- Work on the farm is real, not simulated.
- The natural environment is therapeutic, not just a backdrop.
- Rhythm and rituals shape the therapeutic community.
- Recovery is defined individually.
- The program adjusts to the capabilities of each guest.
- Length of stay is guest-driven, rather than program-driven.
- Families are part of the community, not external to it.
Offering daily opportunities for growth
Structure combined with meaningful work, therapeutic community engagement, and connection to nature.
This powerful mix helps Eli’s Place guests gain the skills they need to live healthy, engaged lives while managing a serious mental illness.
Developing a sense of purpose & belonging
Where everyone makes a meaningful contribution
