Geriatric Behavioral Health Unit Management

Horizon Health’s Geriatric Behavioral Health programs serve adults aged 65 and older.    Research has shown that older adults are often less comfortable seeking care from a mental health professional than their younger counterparts.  Due to stigma, misinformation, and false beliefs about aging, they frequently go without adequate care for depression and other psychiatric illnesses and psychological problems.  

Horizon Health wants to promote successful aging, which means we want to help your patients maintain positive psychological experiences that will keep them socially engaged, improve cognition and physical function.  Together, we can help your aging population improve their overall quality of life. 

Our knowledgeable team will partner with you to ensure the patients you serve in your community receive the highest standard of quality care.  We are driven to help your staff and patients effectively treat varying mental health symptoms that increase with aging, including, but not limited to:

• Mood disorders
• Anxiety disorders
• Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Substance Use Disorder
• Behaviors associated with neurocognitive disorders i.e., dementia’s
• Medical comorbidities
