Geropsychiatric Services For Older Adults
At a time when they had planned to relax and enjoy life, older adults often encounter unexpected stresses and problems. Some of these problems may include:
 

These changes often present overwhelming challenges to the problem-solving and coping abilities of older adults and their families. The development of anxiety, panic attacks, depression, memory problems, dementia are NOT normal consequences of aging, but may happen in response to these stresses.

Our specially trained professional staff works as a team to provide evaluation, treatment planning, counseling and support. Our goal is to help patients and families develop new coping and problem-solving skills, and to restore emotional health.

It is important for the older adult to maintain as much independence as possible, keeping in mind the basic needs for safety and for social contact with others. The result is improvement in the quality of life for our patients.

We provide a complete range of services, so that individual needs can be addressed.
