Desert Sage VMS

Desert Sage's program has been in existence since 2011. We have built our model on the premise that if we approach the care of a patient with mental illness from a holistic perspective, within his/her chosen environment, we will be successful in preventing frequent hospitalizations, thereby, making psychiatric home health care the most cost-effective treatment available for this patient population. Research has shown that each time a psychiatric patient is hospitalized, the overall impact on the lifetime management of his/her disease is compounded in a negative way, affecting the ability to obtain and maintain a stable, independent and desirable quality of life. We offer a well-rounded team approach to the therapeutic interventions that allow the psychiatric patient to maintain in his/her home environment, inspite of the regular adjustments necessary in response to exacerbation of illness, stressors and needed adjustments to medication.
