Community PASS members have access to:
-
- On-campus activities and groups
- Ranch holidays & events*
- Campus amenities like the gym, art room, and lake
- Occasional meals*

Housing and Facilities
Clients enjoy the comforts of their own private space while maintaining important ties to the supports they have established during their time at the Ranch.
Many clients choose to pursue housing through the SLR-owned townhouse, when available. The townhouse is a beautiful Victorian, conveniently located in the historic district of Rutland and within walking distance of local coffee shops, grocery stores, and restaurants. The townhouse has seven unfurnished one bed/bath apartments and offers proximity to other clients, staff, and psychiatrist’s office.
Other clients live throughout Rutland County in independently rented apartments. Ranch community access is the same regardless of housing.
Treatment Teams
Quarterly psychiatric appointments with their Ranch provider are included. Community PASS clients also have a dedicated care manager who meets with them weekly to review treatment plans and daily living activities. Care managers assist clients in finding appropriate community supports from outside providers based on client needs (therapy, primary care/specialty providers, nursing, housekeeping, etc.).
Service Offerings
Community PASS offers a variety of support structures for clients to choose from.
Care management and psychiatry is provided through SLR with external community-based support depending on their individual needs (therapy, primary care/specialty providers, nursing, housekeeping, etc.)
Clients manage their own medications, routines, meals, and living space. Clients meet with their SLR care manager once a week to review treatment planning and daily life. They are encouraged to engage in part-time employment, volunteering, and/or education, and are invited to join the Ranch for regular celebrations and events.
Program Cost
Spring Lake Ranch is a private-pay facility. Thanks to our donors, we’re able to offer financial aid to subsidize the cost of care for those who qualify. We encourage residents and their families to apply.
Our day rate for Community PASS is $120 for the first 60 days, then $60/day after that.

*Appropriateness for Community PASS will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Completion of the Ranch Program does not automatically indicate eligibility for transitional programs at Spring Lake Ranch. As these programs have a lower level of direct-staff oversight, factors that may determine eligibility include but are not limited to a resident’s safety history and substance use history. If it is determined that our transitional programs are not appropriate, Ranch staff will assist in pursuing alternative options.
