That’s why we’ve established a special unit within our hospital to focus on senior mental health, an area of medicine that jointly addresses the unique physical and emotional needs of older adults.
Our Senior Mental Health unit, located on the 3nd floor of the hospital, is designed to help patients and their families address the complex issues that can cause older adults to fall into a behavioral health crisis. Our “hospital within a hospital” is a secure unit offering short-term treatment to stabilize patients age 55 and over who are experiencing a crisis that cannot be managed in an outpatient setting. After a comprehensive assessment, we provide an individualized treatment plan of services and support focused on each person’s situation and goals.
We’re available to help 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. For more information please call us at 210-921-3558.
