The program provides short-term impatient psychiatric services to seniors
who live at home, in assisted living centers, or residents in a rehabilitation or
nursing home setting. The program focuses on the individual needs
associated with the aging process in a secure, comfortable and therapeutic
environment. Since many elderly patients have
co-existing medical illnesses, a specially trained
team of caregivers design a patient specific plan of
care from a comprehensive menu of services.
OUR GOAL IS TO IDENTIFY EACH PATIENT'S TRUE POTENTIAL
AND ASSIST THEM IN REACHING THE HIGHEST
POSSIBLE LEVEL OF INDEPENDENCE AND
QUALITY OF CARE.
ADMISSION CRITERIA:
Candidates for admission are adults, 55 years of age and older,
who require specialized, acute inpatient hospitalization for a full
diagnostic range of psychiatric disorders including but not limited

thoughts; severe mood swings and behavioral changes related to
Alzheimer's and Dementia.
