About this facility
The Geriatric Psychiatry Inpatient Program at Stoughton Hospital helps adults 55 and older who are struggling with serious mental health issues. This short-term inpatient program treats conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and behavior changes related to dementia. Patients get 24/7 care in a safe, supportive space designed especially for older adults.
The program uses a team-based approach to treatment. Patients receive care from psychiatrists, nurses, therapists, and social workers who work together to create a personalized plan. Therapy may include group and individual sessions, medication management, and occupational or recreational activities. These therapies help patients feel more stable, manage symptoms, and prepare for life after discharge.
Families are encouraged to be involved in care, and planning for what happens after a patient leaves is a key part of treatment. The program also offers round-the-clock evaluations and accepts referrals from doctors, loved ones, or even the patient themselves. The goal is to help each person return to their daily life with better mental and emotional health.
