Older Adult Behavioral Health

The interdisciplinary treatment team at Spring Mountain Sahara includes doctors, nurses, psychiatrists and activity therapists who are all focused on making a transition to inpatient care approachable and comfortable for patients and their families. The team works with patients to develop an individualized treatment plan that considers all therapeutic, medical/physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs of patients. The ultimate goal is to get patients to have a greater sense of self-reliance and self-worth so they can move into a lower level of care.

Treatment approach

Therapists regularly review plans with patients in detail and encourage active participation in treatment to make sure progress is being made day by day. Patients will participate in individual, family and group therapy to help them work through problems and find ways to cope with the changes in lifestyle they’ll continue to experience. A treatment plan can include some of the following modalities to encourage change and improvement:

• Individual Therapy: A psychiatrist and a therapist will see patients on a regular basis. This is a time to work on specific issues to further enhance the progress toward achieving treatment goals.
• Group Therapy: Helps patients understand the different major mental illnesses, and learn coping skills for various emotions, grief and loss. Helps develop healthy communication skills, self-esteem, social skills, family patterns for a better re-integration into the home, family and community.
• Family Therapy: Sessions are held in person or by phone if needed for family members who are not in the local area. The goal of a family session is to incorporate the family’s needs and abilities to support patients upon discharge.
• Medication Therapy & Management: The physician and the nursing staff will discuss the patient’s medications with them and their family before this treatment option is started. They will provide any needed information and feedback as treatment is continued.
• Aftercare & Discharge: Therapist, family and patients will formulate an aftercare plan to include continuing treatment as needed. Appointments for doctors and therapists will be set up prior to a patient’s return home.

Medical needs

We support the following medical needs in older adults:

• Assistance with hygiene, dress and ambulation
• Urinary catheters
• Oxygen therapy
• Ostomy and stoma care on a case-by-case basis

An internist will complete a medical/physical evaluation of all senior patients upon admission to ensure that proper care and medical attention is received throughout treatment.
