Who We Serve

The Senior Adult Inpatient Psychiatry unit cares for patients ages 50 years and older. We care for senior adults who can’t currently carry on the normal activities of life due to overwhelming stress, thought disorders, mood disorders and anxiety.

We work to evaluate each patient's needs, stabilize the most significant concerns and make recommendations for continued treatment.

Our Treatment Approach

Our Senior Adult Inpatient Psychiatry unit offers a team of a psychiatrist, psychologist, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, a social worker, a certified recreational therapist and psychiatric technicians. Team members assess each patient and develop an individual treatment plan.

As we care for each patient, we focus on their special needs, individuality, dignity and rights. If a safe and secure environment is needed when they leaves the hospital, our social worker will help find placement.

Visiting Hours

Our Senior Adult Inpatient Psychiatry unit evaluates patients for admission 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Visitors are welcome during designated visiting hours.
