Family Counseling Center, also known as FCC Behavioral Health, serves 19 counties in Southeast Missouri and focuses on improving family dynamics and the emotional well-being of seniors while providing a safe and supportive community. The center offers specialized programs for family therapy, psychosocial rehabilitation for adults, and has programs like Community Integration (BH). It helps people handle many family-related issues, supports communication in families, and cares for people from all backgrounds, including all races, creeds, genders, disabilities, and orientations, which you don't always find at every facility, so that might mean a lot to some. There's a team of licensed mental health professionals running counseling sessions, psychiatric services, substance use disorder services, residential programs, crisis response, outpatient therapy, children's services, and medication assisted treatment (MAT), so families and seniors don't have to go elsewhere for these supports.
The facility provides assisted living and supports folks who need help with daily tasks, including those with non-ambulatory needs, and offers medication management, bathing and dressing assistance, activities of daily living support, help with transfers, and 24-hour supervision. The building is wheelchair accessible, and caregivers speak English and can help with mobility devices if needed, and there's a 24-hour call system for emergencies or quick assistance, which gives people some peace of mind. You'll find furnished rooms with telephones, different options for dining in a restaurant-style place that serves all-day meals and can handle special diets like allergies or diabetes, housekeeping and laundry services, and there's move-in coordination too, so that first step isn't too overwhelming.
The center values both community and independence, with a wide range of activities, including community-sponsored and resident-run events, daily schedules with movie nights, walking paths, a garden to enjoy, a library, a barber and salon, and an arts room, so residents can do what they like and join what they want. The site has a news section, blogs, newsletters, and a media center where people can keep up with everything, plus resources and education like a training calendar. There are feedback tools like the uSPEQ® survey and provider feedback forms, and people can use the "Find a Provider" feature to locate more services. Accreditation is a big part of the center, and it's recognized by CARF International, which helps keep standards high, and they've got accreditation standards, certification steps, and an online store for materials about standards. The main administrative office is at 925 Highway VV in Kennett, MO 63857, but services are available at several locations, with both outpatient, residential, and crisis options offered. The center stands out because it's private, nonprofit, person-centered, always focused on recovery and wellness, and dedicated to making life better for seniors and their families through solid help and supportive programs.
