SENIOR CARE

The Senior Care Unit is often mistaken as a senior nursing facility, but is an acute hospital setting that's considered a psychiatric unit rather than for the general retired population.

  • increased social withdrawal
  • suicidal thoughts or behaviors
  • sleep disturbances
  • extreme fluctuations in weight
  • loss of interest in appearance or self care
  • agitation
  • anxiety
  • poor concentration
  • prolonged grieving
