Senior Behavioral Health Program
The Senior Behavioral Health Program at MeadowWood is designed specifically for older adults, ages 55 and
older. This program addresses a wide range of diagnoses, including, but not limited to depression, psychosis,
dementia, behavior problems and complications related to Alzheimer’s Disease. The unit provides intensive care
for older adults needing the highest level of psychiatric care
An important part of the treatment philosophy at MeadowWood is the belief
that most older adults will benefit from programs specifically designed for their
age group, with the opportunity to share feelings and experiences with their
peers. In an inpatient setting, older adults may participate in a wide array of
comprehensive therapies that are designed to educate them about their
illness and treatments. Patients are also given ample opportunity to discuss
concerns & stressors that may have contributed to their present condition.
Daily activities may include group or family therapy, art therapy, recreational
activities, or substance abuse groups.
