Geriatric Behavioral Health

The Senior Care program is specifically for patients experiencing behavioral health concerns related to cognitive disorders, dementia, loss or adjustment concerns, or other physical health issues.

Patients are admitted 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a week. Referrals are accepted from a range of sources, including family members, providers, long-term care and skilled nursing facilities, emergency departments and other healthcare and treatment facilities.

The most common behavioral health concerns our patients experience are:

• Anxiety disorders
• Bipolar disorders
• Depression
• Cognitive impairment (Alzheimer's, dementia, etc.) 
• Behaviors posing a threat to the safety of oneself or others
• Suicidal thoughts
• Mood swings
• Psychosis
• Paranoia
• Inability to function due to stress
