 Dr. Reddy, Medical Director Psychiatric Services
I have come to realize, that when we age, our bodies and minds react differently. At Moberly Regional we treat this holistically. Our goal is to restore seniors to full life and function. We do this through many forms of therapy and treatment, and involve the family as much as we can. Our care is so unique that there are no other centers like it for nearly 250 miles. Please contact us to see if we can help, our number is (660) 269 3028.
SENIOR MENTAL HEALTH UNIT
Moberly Regional Medical Center’s 30-bed acute care unit specializes in mental health care for senior adults, age 50 and older.
OUR TREATMENT APPROACH
Our overall goal is to help the patient resume life’s normal activities as soon as possible. To assist with this process, each patient is evaluated and a treatment plan is developed that is specific to that individual patient’s needs. Individual, group, family, occupational, pet, and recreational therapy are all part of the treatment plan.
OUR TREATMENT TEAM
The Senior Mental Health Unit treatment teamwork’s under the medical supervision of a psychiatrist. We encourage referral sources to participate in treatment planning to help ensure continuity of care for each patient. Family members and referral sources are both encouraged to participate in the after-care planning process.
ADMISSIONS CRITERIA
To determine the need for outpatient or acute hospitalization, we screen for the following conditions:
- Acute or chronic depression or other mood disorders, psychosis, anxiety disorders, dementia and associated problems.
