This unit treats a range of psychiatric conditions in the elderly and has special expertise in treating Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. The medical, nursing, and other staff of the Geriatric Psychiatry Unit are experts in evaluating patients with mild to critical dementia and in sorting out those behavioral and emotional problems that are dementia-related from those that are due to other causes that may require specific treatment interventions. The Geriatric Psychiatry Unit uses a precise approach that integrates behavioral interventions, therapeutic milieu, psychopharmacology and other somatic approaches to stabilize patients rapidly and implement treatment plans that maximize cognitive and emotional functioning in patients and thus improve their quality of life.
