Senior Adults Inpatient Mental Health Program

Senior Adults Inpatient Mental Health Program

Inpatient Geriatric Psychiatric Program

The senior inpatient program is for older adults facing senior adult mental health issues unique to the aging process. We help seniors learn to address and cope with the challenges they face at this stage of life. The clinical staff working with the senior adult population understands the importance of involving families and other healthcare providers to ensure that progress made in treatment is monitored and sustained following participation in one of our programs.

Warning signs of behavioral health issues may include any of the following:

  • Suicidal thoughts or actions or thoughts of death
  • Depression
  • Withdrawn behavior
  • Physical acting out towards self, others or objects
  • Mood swings
  • Alcohol addiction and/or drug abuse
  • Inability to cope with problems and daily activities

If you recognize any of the above symptoms, our qualified geriatric psychiatry professionals are available at all times to determine the most appropriate level of care for each individual. All clients will receive an opportunity to connect with a treatment provider that best suits their needs.

Senior adult inpatient treatment at Behavioral Hospital of Bellaire, located in Houston, Texas, provides an opportunity for older adults to learn and practice coping skills. These skills help to manage a wide range of behavioral, emotional and family problems. The patient, family, and referring health professionals are integral parts of our comprehensive treatment plan.
