Waukegan, IL May 8, 2020 – Final construction and interior work is almost complete on our brand new 146-bed hospital. Completion of this project will be a milestone in our effort to increase access and availability of mental health treatment in Lake County and surrounding communities, including Southeast Wisconsin. Lake Behavioral offers inpatient and outpatient programming for teens, adults, and senior adults.
This project has been quite the undertaking as every detail was taken into consideration during construction. Every space within the hospital has been designed with patient safety and comfort in mind. Lake Behavioral Hospital will be the newest facility of its kind and represents the future in mental health treatment.
Within the hospital, there are designated spaces for inpatient treatment, group therapy, recreation therapy, physical activity, and more. There are also two courtyards where patients will be able to enjoy the outdoors, which may not be typical of most behavioral hospitals.
Every safety measure has been carefully thought out while ensuring the space is therapeutic and relaxing for patients and visitors.
Upon completion, the hospital will undergo rigorous state surveys and inspections to confirm that everything is operational and functional to required standards. Barring any adjustments, the new hospital will be operational and accepting new admissions.
As always, Lake Behavioral will offer free mental health assessments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
