Direct care management of the environment includes continuous monitoring, observation, intervention, and activity support.

Program is scheduled for opening in October 2024.

Pecan Valley Centers Background Information Pecan Valley Centers for Behavioral and Developmental Healthcare (the “Center”) is a unit of local government with non‐ profit status. The Center is the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) designated local mental health authority (LMHA) and local intellectual and developmental disabilities authority (LIDDA) established by the State of Texas to plan, coordinate, develop policy, develop, and allocate resources, supervise, and ensure the provision of community based mental health and/or mental retardation services for the residents of Erath, Hood, Johnson, Palo Pinto, Parker and Somervell Counties.

In August 2023, the Center was recertified as a Texas Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic.

Agency Requirements These facilities are operated under the rules established by the Health and Human Services Standards and/or Pecan Valley Centers policy and procedures identified in their Crisis Service Standards.

Professional services to serve and support individuals in the facility will be provided by Pecan Valley Centers Clinical Staff. It will be critical that the selected contractor be willing to provide Behavioral Health Technicians to provide services in a cooperative manner in order for optimum treatment progress to be achieved. Pecan Valley Centers Clinical Staff will provide training to Behavioral Health Technicians that will enhance their skills as these needs are identified. Behavioral Health Technicians must be responsive to guidance provided by Pecan Valley Centers Clinical Staff in regard to creating the optimum environment to maintain safety and stabilization, as well as to provide individualized support for guests as these needs are identified.

This facility is unique in its intent to provide services for individuals of “all abilities.” Therefore, any individual demonstrating the need for this level of care will not be denied access simply because of their diagnosis or lack of diagnosis. It is intentional that individuals with developmental disabilities will receive the accommodations needed to benefit from treatment at this facility, along with others who have behavioral health needs.

Direct Care staff would be expected to monitor the milieu at all times to ensure individual safety and to encourage participation in group and/or individual recreational activity and the practice of good positive interactions. Direct Care staff will be expected to inform Pecan Valley Centers Clinical Staff when there is a concern about an individual’s condition that could indicate a need for reassessment (such as deterioration in condition, display of unsafe behavior or outcry for help).

For the protection of all concerned, one female Direct Care staff must always be on duty to provide personal support to females with this need.
