AMHS utilizes a variety of residential programs to provide a range of living arrangements and services including room, board, personal care, supervision, and medication administration. In addition, many residences provide various learning experiences in areas such as daily living skills, getting along with others, recovery from substance use, and/or locating and utilizing community resources.
AMHS both provides residential services directly, as well as contracts with various specialty residential services providers, so that persons may be provided with the services and supports necessary for life in the community. AMHS staff also work with dozens of private Adult Foster Care (AFC) providers in the tri-county area to ensure suitable living arrangements are maintained.
In addition to residential or foster care homes, AMHS operates a Supported Independent Living Program (SIP) which involves providing intensive services and supports in an apartment based setting. AMHS also links consumers to various other housing options including non-CMH supported apartments, the Shelter Plus Care Program, Housing Choice Vouchers, among others.

My therapist and doctor always listen to me and try to help me. 20-12-2012 Hits:21213 AMHS Testimonials Jason Moon For someone like me who doesn't have a family, the clubhouse has become my family. 20-12-2012 Hits:21478 AMHS Testimonials Jason Moon I have a purpose now, which is something I never felt before in my life. 20-12-2012 Hits:21430 AMHS Testimonials Jason Moon I like all the services I get here, no complaints at all! 20-12-2012 Hits:23683 AMHS Testimonials Jason Moon Before I started seeing ZoeAnn or Ron I had no confidence or self-esteem. Depression was constant. I wanted to hurt myself, I had no love for myself. Anger ruled my life. After coming here for many years my therapist helped me to turn my life around in a positive manner to love myself and have the confidence and self-esteem to “Git ‘er Done!” I learned that I am a very special and loving person. I am very proud to have come here and have had the love and understanding and support from ZoeAnn and Ron. The saddest part about leaving this world some day will be leaving these wonderful people behind. Thank you for all the confidence you have given me.
