Dear Lake House Academy Community,
We are writing to share some important news regarding Lake House Academy.
After careful consideration and exploration of various options, we have made the difficult decision to close the program on Wednesday, December 18, 2024. Our primary focus has always been to provide the highest quality care to the young people we serve and are deeply committed to meeting the evolving needs of our patients, their families, and our partners.
Lake House Academy has consistently delivered exceptional care, and we are proud of our impact on the lives of countless young people. Unfortunately, despite our high-quality care, we encountered significant challenges in securing insurance reimbursement for our treatment under the current therapeutic boarding school license.
To overcome these obstacles, we initiated a rigorous process to obtain a residential treatment license. However, we encountered several challenges that have prevented our ability to do so within a reasonable time frame.
We explored alternative options, including the search for a suitable property in South Carolina, but were unable to find a facility that held up to our standards of care. This decision was incredibly difficult, as we deeply value the dedicated staff and the positive impact they have made on the lives of their students. We are committed to supporting our employees through this transition and will work diligently to find them suitable positions within our greater network of care programs.
We will continue to serve our current patients until December 18, 2024, and will work with all our families and their consultants to find the best alternative treatment options if they are unable to complete treatment at Lake House Academy.
We deeply value the trust you have given to us and understand that this closure may impact the patients, their families, and our partners that we serve. We are dedicated to facilitating a seamless transition to ensure quality of treatment and outcomes are prioritized.
Sincerely,
Lake House Academy
