For many older adults, mental health problems—such as depression, anxiety, memory loss, and confusion—can be as serious as challenges to their physical health. Many of these mental health issues are complicated by medical and physical concerns.

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.

Resources

    Senior couple When Someone You Love Has Dimentia Caring for a loved one who is ill requires patience and compassion, and when that loved one is suffering from dementia, the caregiver’s role can be especially challenging. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. Other illnesses that cause brain function to worsen include Parkinson’s disease and vascular dementia, which is a reduced blood flow to the brain’s nerve cells.
