Regional Health Systems is committed to serving the needs of our Northwest Indiana communities. As a non-profit, community behavioral health center and federally qualified health center, we provide affordable care to all people, regardless of age, income, or circumstance. Our caring team of providers offers services in psychotherapy, psychiatry, and addiction treatment, along with housing for long-term behavioral health clients.
Lake Park Residential Care is a 151-bed care community for long-term mental health care patients, offering a multitude of services including medical, dental, and behavioral health care through Regional Health Systems. Residents receive 24-hour non-medical care, medication management and assistance with activities of daily living. Our expert team will also arrange transportation and provide meals, laundry, and housekeeping services.
There are numerous benefits to a residential community, and adults often choose somewhere like Lake Park because of amenities and programs that foster connection, such as creative arts classes, games, movie nights and outings. Lake Park Residential Care is one of two remaining long-term mental health care facilities in Lake County, IN and one of only 24 in the state.
Proceeds from the Black and White Ball benefit long-term mental health services at Regional Health Systems and Lake Park Residential Care. Regional Care Group does not receive state or federal funding for these services.
