Why Mission Behavioral Health?

While there are a multitude of adult inpatient psychiatric facilities nationwide, these often mix patients of varying ages and diagnoses.

Mission Behavioral Health stands out as one of the very few hospitals in our state (and country) that exclusively admit and treat senior adults with primary psychiatric diagnoses.

In addition to addressing primary psychiatric conditions, our exceptional clinical team provides care for those with medical and other secondary diagnoses, considering the unique medical, physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges of each patient.

Comprehensive Approach to Treatment

Our team consists of psychiatrists, psychologists, internal medicine/geriatric physicians, nurse practitioners, social workers, and therapists (specializing in activity, occupational, physical, and speech therapy).

Together, they work with the patients and one another to gain a thorough understanding of each patient’s specific symptoms and triggers, both psychiatric and medical.

Personalized strategies and plans of care are built to manage symptoms and enhance each patient’s ability to engage with others. Each day, patients participate in group activities that promote exercise, personal nutrition, socialization and stress management.

Inpatient Facility

Our inpatient hospital is designed to provide a safe, pleasant and efficient treatment environment, specifically for elderly patients.

The design and amenities include senior-friendly lighting, wall colors, handrails, and flooring features tailored to patient needs.

Therapeutic Services

As part of our commitment to excellence within our community, we provide extensive therapy services.

In addition to existing activity and process therapy programs, we are pleased to support Art Therapy, Music Therapy, and Pet Therapy within our facility.

These will be incorporated with the six daily quality-of-life activities each patient at Mission Behavioral Health will participate in as part of their individualized treatment plan.
