At our senior behavioral services centers in Mobile and Bay Minette, we
strive to provide encouraging and individualized care to evaluate and
treat behavioral and mental problems aging brings. Our assessments, services
and care are geared towards ensuring your loved is as mentally and physical
fit as possible as they age.
What Is Senior Behavioral Health?
The practice of senior behavioral health medicine seeks to provide psychiatric
support and treatment to those elderly adults who suffer from behavioral,
mental or emotional problems because of the losses associated with the
aging process. Physicians and psychologists specializing in this field
seek to provide living and caring therapy and treatment options to help
the elderly work through the aging process and be as mentally health and
stable for as long as they can.
Our staff seeks to treat elderly individuals with emotional illnesses such as:
Sleeping too much or not being able to sleep
Constantly crying
Refusing to eat or eating too much
Being forgetful
Not wanting to be around other people
Always being sad
Admitted to being suicidal
Not caring about how they look
What We Can Do to Help
Our state-of-the-art senior behavioral health centers in Mobile and Bay
Minette provide a compassionate and supportive environment where elderly
patients are provided the therapy and care they need to thrive later in life.
The services we provide includes an initial evaluation to determine the
cause, emotional or biomedical, of the behavioral change or disorder.
After the initial evaluation, an individualized treatment program is formed
which could include group therapy, individual therapy, lifestyle training,
monitoring by social workers, education programs and assessment and care
of secondary needs.
Holistic, Family Centered Treatment

surrounding them.
What to Expect from Senior Behavioral Health
