Geriatric Mental Health
Geriatric Mental Health Services at the Institute of Living focus on the
physical and mental changes of aging, the specific needs and tasks of older
adults and the issues of adjustment that accompany the aging process. In
addition to offering a comprehensive array of mental health programs for older
adults, the IOL is a center for research and education aimed at improving the
health care and well-being of older people.
Programs for older adults include a 28-bed inpatient unit offering evaluation
and treatment of acute or complex mental health problems, an intensive day
program that offers group, family and individual treatment based on
individualized treatment plans, and an outpatient practice of Geriatric and
Adult Psychiatry. The Geriatric Service also provides home visits and outreach
to seniors living at home, conducts educational programs in the community, and
collaborates with a range of physicians and agencies.
