At our senior behavioral health units in Mobile and Bay Minette, we strive
to provide encouraging and individualized care to evaluate and treat behavioral
and mental problems aging brings. Our assessments, services and care are
geared towards ensuring your loved is as mentally and physical fit as
possible as they age.
What is senior behavioral health?
The practice of senior behavioral health medicine seeks to provide psychiatric
support and treatment to those elderly adults who suffer from behavioral,
mental, or emotional problems because of the losses associated with the
aging process. Physicians and psychologists specializing in this field
seek to provide living and caring therapy and treatment options to help
the elderly work through the aging process and be as mentally health and
stable for as long as they can.
Our staff seeks to treat individuals age 55 and older with emotional illnesses such as:
Depression
Life stress & anxiety
Memory loss
Social withdrawal
Grief & loss
Medication management
Suicidal thoughts
Dementia
How we can help
Our state-of-the-art senior behavioral health units in Mobile and Bay Minette
provide a compassionate and supportive environment where elderly patients
are provided the therapy and care they need to thrive.
We provide an initial evaluation to determine the cause, emotional or biomedical,
of the behavioral change or disorder. After the initial evaluation, an
individualized treatment program is formed which could include group therapy,
individual therapy, lifestyle training, monitoring by social workers,
education programs and assessment, and care of secondary needs.
Holistic, Family Centered Treatment
Infirmary Health’s senior behavioral units seek to give family members
the ability to be involved in their loved one’s treatment process
as well as ensure that the elderly patient has a strong support group
surrounding them.
What to Expect from Senior Behavioral Health
The senior behavioral health units at Mobile Infirmary and North Baldwin
Infirmary provide 24-hour care inpatient hospitalization program. With
admissions occurring 24 hours a day, initial assessments and treatment
plans are conducted by specialist psychiatrists and physicians, respectively.
The units are also staffed by mental health professionals to ensure that
your loved receives the very best of care. Even after discharge, our staff
of physicians seek to provide supportive care by developing an ongoing
care plan, providing outpatient therapy, and even a day hospital program.
The goal is to ensure that the patient lives life to the fullest as they age.
