This article describes the Bay Area Health Care Psychiatric Home Care Model. The symbol of a home is used to define the components of the model. The foundation of the house is a moral/spiritual one. The walls of the home are made up of assessment skills and relationship building. The second floor of the psychiatric home care model, supported by the walls of assessment and relationship, are the issues surrounding medications. The two sides of the roof of the psychiatric home care model are made up of teaching/psychotherapeutic interventions and case management. This model is comprehensive, and directed to caring, stabilizing, and maximizing potential.
