FAQs

Built around a “hospital without walls” approach, Ellenhorn Boston brings psychiatry, nursing, and therapy into Boston-area homes and communities. The center treats adults with serious mental health concerns and co-occurring substance use through one coordinated team, with clinicians on call 24/7. Most clients live independently, while Brackett House in Arlington offers optional living with staff present around the clock.

Coordinate Care Around Daily Life

Each client works with a psychiatrist, primary clinician, and registered nurse through the Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT). The team manages medication, provides therapy and family support, and helps clients pursue education or employment. Across their programs, they have one staff member for every two clients, and each psychiatrist works with a small number of clients. This gives the team more time to stay in touch and adjust care as needs change.

Choose Home Visits or Staffed Living

The team helps clients living independently find and furnish a home, work with landlords, cook, and keep up with household tasks. For adults who need a staffed setting, Brackett House provides 24-hour staffing alongside the center’s clinical care. The former bed-and-breakfast offers home-cooked meals made with mostly organic, locally grown ingredients. Both options connect psychiatric treatment with the practical demands of maintaining a home.
