ClearView Communities Residential Mental Health Treatment Program

🏡 Ever wondered what one of our residential homes actually looks like? Come take a tour!

Our homes at ClearView Communities were custom-built specifically with our residents and their needs in mind. They’re designed to feel like a comfortable, welcoming suburban home. Because that’s exactly what we want them to feel like!

Each home has 8 private bedrooms, and every resident has their own private bathroom and spacious walk-in closet. There are two living room spaces, a shared dining room where residents eat meals together, shared laundry, and plenty of space to relax and spend time together.

There’s also a House Manager and Recovery Coach office, with a staff member awake and available 24/7 to support residents when they need it.

It’s not just a place to receive treatment. It’s a place to live, learn, build independence, and practice the routines of everyday life in a supportive environment.

Today, one of our therapists accompanied two residents to the Frederick County Workforce Services Fall 2026 Job Fair! 👏

At ClearView Communities, we believe that recovery is about more than treatment. It’s about building confidence, developing life skills, and preparing for a successful future.

Opportunities like this allow our residents to explore career possibilities, connect with potential employers, and take meaningful steps toward independence.

We’re proud to support our residents as they work toward their personal goals and create a future full of possibilities! 💙

Planning, practicing, and building confidence — welcome to Tools to Thrive

This two-part group helps residents strengthen important independent living skills like communication, budgeting, cooking, safety awareness, community navigation, and more.

Residents first learn and plan, then put those skills into action through hands-on practice and real-world application.

Because confidence grows when learning meets doing. 💚

🌿 A Little Nature, A Little Creativity, and Time to Grow! 🌸

Our residents enjoyed a Rooted in Growth group at ClearView Communities, where they created their own Nature Mandalas in the greenhouse!

The group started with a mindful walk around campus to gather natural materials like leaves, petals, and seed pods. Then, everyone brought their finds into the greenhouse and used them to create something uniquely their own.

Each mandala started with a meaningful item at the center, representing a personal value, intention, or something important to that individual. From there, residents built outward, creating beautiful designs inspired by nature and their own personal reflections. 🍃

We love seeing how simple activities like this create opportunities to slow down, get creative, and connect with nature in meaningful ways.

🌿 ClearView Communities is excited to continue our partnership with One Wild, formerly ThorpeWood, as we expand opportunities for our residents to connect with nature, themselves, and one another.

At ClearView Communities, we believe deeply that access to nature should not be a privilege. Nature should be for everyone, and everyone deserves opportunities to experience its capacity to support mental health, connection, and healing. One Wild’s commitment to making nature-based programming more accessible throughout Frederick County aligns beautifully with the values at the heart of our work.

Through this continued partnership, our residents will have opportunities to explore new natural spaces, and participate in guided nature-based programming, including opportunities to explore grief and loss in a compassionate, supportive environment. This partnership also builds on our existing collaboration with the YMCA of Frederick County, expanding opportunities for therapeutic outdoor experiences for our residents.

We are equally grateful for the past two years of Friday visits to the ThorpeWood property. The Catoctin Mountains, their trails, animals, and changing seasons have given our residents, and our staff, memories and connections we will carry with us. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the staff who welcomed us and helped make these experiences possible.

As we enter this next chapter, we are proud to stand alongside One Wild in our shared commitment to making nature more accessible and creating opportunities for connection, reflection, and growth.

🎉 Every Milestone Deserves to be Celebrated 🎉

At ClearView Communities, community integration isn't just about getting out into the community; it’s about helping our residents build confidence, independence, and a sense of accomplishment along the way.

When a resident reaches a milestone at work or while volunteering, we celebrate with them!

💼 Work & Volunteering
☕ 1 Month — Dunkin’ gift card
🛍️ 3 Months — Target gift card
🍕 6 Months — Pizza party with the house!
🎁 1 Year — Amazon gift card

📚 School Milestones
☕ 1st Milestone — Dunkin’ gift card

We believe every accomplishment deserves recognition from the first month on the job to a year of dedication, from starting school to reaching that next goal. Every milestone is a celebration, big or small! 🥳

🍋 When life gives you a lemon tree… you wait 3 years for the lemons! 😂🌱

Our greenhouse lemon tree at ClearView Communities is absolutely loaded with Meyer lemons, and they’re finally ready to harvest!

This has been a three-year labor of love. It all started with a very sad-looking stick from Walmart that cost just $1. Honestly, there may have been a little overconfidence involved in thinking we could grow citrus! 😅

Last year, we finally got a few tiny green lemons. We even wondered if we’d accidentally bought a lime tree! Unfortunately, a scale infestation took out that harvest.

But we didn’t give up! Residents and staff have been checking on the tree every week, keeping an eye on what it needs, and helping it thrive. And now… look at all those lemons! 🍋💛

It’s a fun reminder that good things sometimes take time, patience, and a little TLC.

Want to pick one for yourself? If you’re visiting, feel free to stop by our greenhouse deck and harvest a fresh Meyer lemon straight from the tree!

🌟 Employee Spotlight: September Employee of the Month! 🌟

Please join us in congratulating Amber Kuehnel, Occupational Therapist, on being named ClearView Communities’ September Employee of the Month! 🎉

Amber has been part of the ClearView team since 2024, and her colleagues consistently recognize her dedication, collaboration, and willingness to go the extra mile for our residents.

💙 Here’s what her colleagues had to say about her:

“Amber has been so helpful in stepping in to assist with disposition planning for our residents. ClearView Communities would be lost without her!”

Amber has also been working closely with residents to strengthen their budgeting skills, an important step toward greater independence. This work involves collaboration with residential staff, the treatment team, and families to navigate complex situations, gather necessary information, and help residents develop the practical skills they need for the future.

At ClearView Communities, occupational therapy goes beyond traditional therapy sessions. It’s about helping residents build the everyday skills and confidence needed to live more independently.

Thank you, Amber, for your compassion, teamwork, and commitment to our residents’ growth. We’re so grateful to have you on the ClearView Communities team! 💙
