SERVICES OFFERED
Civil Mental Health Services: Operate civil psychiatric hospitals for individuals with a severe and persistent mental illness that are involuntarily committed when community treatment alternatives are no longer effective.
Geriatric Treatment Services: Operate state, county and Veterans nursing homes providing rehabilitation and acute psychiatric treatment to elderly individuals with serious and persistent mental illness.
Forensic Mental Health Services: Operate forensic psychiatric treatment facilities providing mental health assessments and psychiatric rehabilitation to individuals who have been declared incompetent to proceed to trial or were found not guilty by reason of insanity.
Sex Offender Treatment Services: Operate sex offender treatment facilities that provide programming and care for sex offenders. This includes treatment to sex offenders in prison and those that have completed their prison terms and are civilly committed because they are pre-disposed to commit violent sexual acts that endanger the health and safety of others.

In fact, GEO Care has enabled government entities to successfully finance the entire cost of new facilities through savings achieved after GEO Care assumes management – while dramatically increasing the quality of care at the same time.
