Senior Pathways Programs
Behavioral Health Services’ Senior Pathways Programs are multi-disciplinary assessment and treatment programs for aging adults experiencing an acute decrease in their everyday level of functioning.
The Senior Pathways Inpatient Program is appropriate for aging adults suffering from a psychiatric disorder, whose needs exceed the resources available through a lower level of care (e.g. outpatient therapy), and who are likely to benefit from short term inpatient mental health treatment. Issues which may warrant inpatient admission include depression, suicidal attempts or ideation, decreased memory and increased confusion, sleeplessness, increased isolation, paranoia, anger, aggression, schizophrenia and debilitating anxiety disorders, among others.
The Senior Pathways Outpatient Program is appropriate for aging adults who are dealing with the stressors that come with the aging process. When problems escalate and interfere with daily living then professional help is needed. The Senior Pathways Outpatient Program is designed to serve those who need more frequent and comprehensive therapy than traditional outpatient can provide. It is also appropriate for individuals who are ready to discharge from an inpatient setting but who require structured, intensive therapy to ease the transition from the hospital to home.
The outpatient program consists of process groups, teaching life skills, individual therapy, family therapy, if indicated, which includes collaborating with the patient’s support persons. Completion of this program should allow the patient to pursue social, vocational or educational goals.
