Cal-Cris Lodge in Lakeside operates as a California Department of Social Services-licensed adult residential facility at 8944 Emerald Grove Ave, serving ambulatory men ages 18 through 59 with persistent mental health conditions. The 10-bed facility coordinates primary medical care through community providers including Neighborhood Healthcare on Vine Street for routine health screenings and medication management. Founded in 1997, the program structures ADL support including medication administration, communal meal service, and social skill development within individually fenced cottage settings. Behavioral stabilization at Cal-Cris Lodge pairs continuous on-site supervision with outpatient counseling referrals to providers in the Lakeside behavioral health network, including Christiana K. Silva on Woodside Avenue. The facility maintains capacity for 10 licensed beds across supervised cottage-style residential units, with staffing ratios calibrated to California Title 17 regulatory requirements for ARF-classified programs.
