Mental Health In-Home Service

ANSDISH HOMECARE SERVICES LLC provides Mental Health In-Home Services for children and adolescents who require structured therapeutic support within their home and community setting. Services are designed in alignment with applicable Virginia Medicaid and state behavioral health program requirements. Mental Health In-Home Services are goal-directed, time-limited, and delivered to youth who demonstrate significant behavioral or mental health challenges that place them at risk of removal from the home or who are transitioning back from higher levels of care. The focus of service delivery is to support family preservation, improve behavioral functioning, reduce the need for inpatient or residential treatment, and maintain care within the least restrictive setting.

Services are primarily delivered in the individual’s home and community environment and are structured to address clinical needs while providing families with practical tools and strategies to support consistent care routines.
