The Senior Inpatient Program serves individuals with a variety of needs. Often seniors present with a combination of physical, emotional, and/or psychiatric problems such as infection, COPD, heart conditions, Parkinson's Disease, depression, confusion, anxiety disorders, agitation, and/or bereavement. Thorough biopsychosocial evaluations are administered so as to obtain a holistic picture of the struggles being experienced by the individual. Those receiving inpatient care reside in the Senior Unit with age appropriate peers. Professionals from psychiatry, medicine, recreation, nursing, and therapy design each individual's care plan. Treatment activities include pharmacotherapy, individual, family, group, and recreational therapies. Additional efforts are made to establish a comprehensive aftercare plan before completing inpatient care to prevent re-hospitalization or decompensation. The senior as well as family members are encouraged to participate in developing this plan. |
