ON CAMPUS LIVING
Home-like living situations provided in the 38 homes on campus each accommodate up to
eight people of similar age and needs. The homes were built in the 1970s and were recently
updated with new kitchen cabinets, countertops, and modern appliances. Map Link
OLDER ADULT
Five homes in the Oak Walk section of the campus have been set aside for older
clients. This section is designed to provide services for men and women who do not present
physical danger to self or others, are 55 years of age or older, and do not require
intensive or continuous medical or nursing care. This section considers the dignity of the
older client and provides programming and activities based on age, overall physical
condition and level of functioning. To view the Older Adult living area, refer to
homes Oak Walk 105, 106, 108, 109, and 110. Map Link
COMMUNITY HOMES
The Marshall Habilitation Center participates in the Medicaid Home and Community-Based
Waiver program and the Independent Support Living (ISL) program. These programs offer an
array of Medicaid reimbursable community-based services for people who are mentally
retarded/developmentally disabled.
These community homes house either three or four people. Seven homes in the Marshall community and two homes in the nearby town of Slater afford the opportunity for community living regardless of competency, severity of disabilities, or the degree of physical or behavioral challenge of the person. Through the waiver program a portion of the on-going training, active habilitation, and functional skill development takes place in naturally occurring settings in the community.
FORENSIC SERVICES
The forensic services program is located on campus in a building known as the
Greenwood Apartments. Accommodations are provided for up to 24 people in this
minimum-security setting.
Individuals in this program have been committed to the Department of Mental Health as a result of offenses against society for which they have been found NGRI, Not Guilty by Reason of Mental Defect, Incompetent to Proceed, or for Pre-Trial Evaluation. Comprehensive assessment and evaluation leads to the ultimate goal of developing an understanding of individual behavior and providing training that will enhance each person’s independence to safely and successfully return to the community with the necessary supports.

FAMILY VISITS
In its effort to continually meet the needs of individuals and their families, MHC
began providing lodging in October 1995 for visiting family members by utilizing an
existing residence as a guest house. The two-story white frame house was built in
1928 to provide housing for the business manager and later the assistant superintendent of
administration. As the house is no longer used as a staff residence, the opportunity
presented itself whereby it could be utilized as a guest house for family members,
guardians, and friends while visiting their sons or daughters. This home-like setting
makes possible a more meaningful visit for the family members and provides a private area
for them to spend time together. Arrangements for staying at the guest house can be
made by contacting the superintendent’s office at 1-660-886-2202, ext. 112. Map Link
