Behavioral Health Services
Atlas Medical’s Behavioral Health services enhance access to quality mental health care by bringing comprehensive psychiatric services directly to patients, wherever they are. Our care is rooted in ensuring a seamless connection between patients and providers.
Our team, which includes psychiatrists and nurse practitioners, recognizes the unique challenges faced by older adults. We provide compassionate and specialized tailored care to each patient’s needs. Depending on individual treatment plans, we also offer access to physical therapists and dietitians.
Diagnostic Evaluation
We’re here to help your residents feel their best. By assessing their psychosocial well-being, we can uncover the unique challenges they face and craft personalized treatment plans that truly enhance their quality of life.
Individualized Care Plans
Everyone’s mental health journey is different, and we understand that. That’s why we take an empathetic and tailored approach to each individual’s needs. Research shows that psychotherapy can greatly benefit seniors, easing anxiety and depression while also offering protection against cognitive decline.
Family Therapy
Families play a vital role in mental and emotional well-being, and we’re committed to fostering that connection. We create a safe, supportive space where families can share openly and learn to communicate effectively. From resolving conflicts and processing grief to strengthening relationships and navigating trauma, we help families find their way.
Behavior Management
Challenging behaviors can sometimes disrupt a resident’s well-being and the sense of community in senior living spaces. Whether it’s coping with isolation, managing aggression, wandering, or difficulties with daily tasks, our team is here to help. We work side-by-side with your residents, equipping them with healthier ways to manage their behavior, while offering individualized care.
For seniors, the transitions and challenges that come with aging – like the loss of a loved one, changes in health, or moving to a new home – can feel overwhelming and might lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, or other mental health concerns. It’s important to approach these challenges with understanding and care.
Some life chances that may signal a need for psychiatric care include:
- Long-term illness or disability
- Dementia-related conditions
- Environmental changes
- Loss of a loved one
- Medication interactions or substance abuse
- Poor nutrition
Pay close attention to signs that may indicate it’s time to seek support:
- Persistent sadness or depression
- Social withdrawal or loss of interest
- Confusion or memory problems
- Appetite or weight changes
- Feelings of worthlessness or suicidal thoughts
- Agitation or aggression
- Hallucinations or neglect of personal care
