Senior Mental Health
The Senior Mental Health In-patient Program at Glendora Oaks Behavioral
Health Hospital provides a caring, supportive environment in which each
patient participates in a therapeutic program that’s specifically
designed to meet his or her needs. Our In-patient Program is intended
for adults age 55 and older.
Through a structured plan of individual psychotherapy, group therapy, planned
activities and family support, the goal is to assist patients to return
to as normal a life as possible. To attain that goal, we make sure that
the care and concern of the Treatment Team continues even after the patient
leaves our hospital. Patients are given the opportunity to regain the
social, physical and emotional skills they once had. Our Treatment Team
is comprised of trained professionals led by a psychiatrist specializing
in geriatric psychiatry.
Warning Signals When Someone Needs Help
Growing older can mean the chance to relax and enjoy life. For many people,
however, growing older also means suffering the loss of a spouse or lifelong
friends, becoming ill with chronic disease, losing financial security
or losing physical capabilities. For some older adults, these problems
can lead to stress, depression or other emotional difficulties.
When these difficulties become too severe, it can cause serious changes
in behavior that family members sometimes ignore or misinterpret, believing
the problem to be the inevitable result of aging, instead of an illness
that responds to treatment.
Glendora Oaks Behavioral Health Hospital's Senior Mental Health In-patient
program addresses the psychological and medical aspects of mental health
problems unique to the older adult.
We welcome calls from individuals who themselves are in need of service,
or from physicians, families or others concerned about he well being of
