We all hope our family members will enjoy the golden years. But, as individuals age, they experience the loss of loved ones and the stresses that go with losing physical and mental abilities. A changing lifestyle and increased physical challenges can lead to sadness and withdrawal. However, persistent personality changes or unusual behavior may indicate your loved one is suffering from an emotional illness, such as depression.

When one person in the family suffers from an emotional illness, everyone in the family is affected, and admission to a psychiatric center is understandably traumatic. We understand this and encourage family members to express their feelings and learn ways to cope. Our family therapy sessions help establish healthy communication channels.

You are not alone

We can help individuals understand what's going on and determine the best course of care. Depression and other emotional illnesses are a significant problem for older adults.

National statistics show that one out of four older adults suffer from serious emotional difficulties related to aging.

Depressed older adults have the highest risk of suicide in our society.

Nineteen million people will suffer from depression at one time in their lives. Of these, up to ninety percent can be effectively treated.

How we can help

At the Geriatric Behavioral Health Center, we offer individualized care in a warm, supportive atmosphere. The first thing our professional team will do is a thorough evaluation to help determine what is causing the behavioral and emotional changes. Our staff will then work with the patient, family and other health professionals to develop a course of treatment that best meets the needs of the individual.
