GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRIC CARE
Navigating dementia and other cognitive challenges can be a difficult journey, but we’re here to provide seniors with the specialized psychiatric support they need. Our focus is not just on managing symptoms, but on understanding the unique emotional and psychological aspects of dementia in older adults.
What Sets Us Apart?
Geriatric Psychiatry Expertise: Aging brings about a myriad of changes, both physical and mental. Our geriatric psychiatrists have a deep understanding of the complexities of aging, including cognitive decline, memory loss, mood disorders, and other mental health issues commonly experienced by seniors, allowing us to tailor our approach to each individual’s needs.
Holistic Assessment: Beyond simply treating symptoms, we conduct comprehensive assessments to understand the full spectrum of our patients’ mental health needs. This holistic approach enables us to develop personalized care plans that address both psychiatric symptoms and overall wellbeing.
Emphasis on Comfort and Dignity: We recognize the importance of preserving seniors’ dignity and autonomy throughout their care journey. Our compassionate staff is dedicated to providing respectful, person-centered care that honors each individual’s preferences and values.
Collaborative Care: We believe in a collaborative approach to psychiatric care. By working closely with caregivers, families, and other healthcare professionals, we ensure that every aspect of our patients’ needs is effectively addressed.
Our Comprehensive Psychiatric Services
Diagnostic Evaluation: Our thorough assessments help identify underlying psychiatric conditions and determine the most appropriate treatment approach for each senior. We consider factors such as medical history, cognitive functioning, and individual preferences to provide accurate diagnoses and personalized care plans.
Medication Management: We carefully monitor and adjust medications to alleviate psychiatric symptoms such as depression, anxiety, agitation, and hallucinations. Our goal is to optimize medication regimens to minimize side effects and enhance overall quality of life.
Therapeutic Interventions: From cognitive stimulation exercises to supportive psychotherapy, we offer a range of therapeutic interventions aimed at enhancing cognitive functioning, reducing distress, and promoting emotional wellbeing.
Family Education and Support: We understand that dementia affects not only seniors but also their families and caregivers. That’s why we provide education, counseling, and support services to help families navigate the challenges of caring for a loved one with dementia.
