As people grow older, they may find the accompanying changes in
their lives difficult to deal with. These changes may include the
loss of a spouse, friends or family members, a decline in health or
mobility, retirement, a feeling of lost respect, or others. While
many seniors continue to feel satisfied with their lives, for some
these changes can be overwhelming and can lead to depression. This
is not a normal or necessary part of aging and if left untreated,
depression can prevent older adults from enjoying life as much as
they could.
How can the Senior Program at The Vines Hospital help me?
Our acute inpatient program is designed for people age 55 and
over to treat the complex mental health and substance abuse
problems of older adults. We focus on helping seniors renew their
quality of life and enhance their self respect and dignity.
Treatment includes:
What happens when I call for help?
Treatment begins with scheduling a free and confidential
assessment conducted by a qualified mental health professional. The
assessment specialist will discuss your current symptoms and
treatment with you to determine the level of care appropriate for
you.
Assessments are offered to anyone regardless of insurance coverage
or whether treatment ultimately is received at The Vines Hospital
or elsewhere.
Will my insurance pay for treatment?
The Vines Hospital is a Medicare and Tricare provider. We also
have contracts with most commercial health insurance plans,
Medicare HMOs, and Medicaid HMOs. Our insurance specialists can
verify your individual coverage. Normal deductibles and co-pays may
apply.
