At Willow Creek Behavioral Health, we know that each person deserves the best possible quality of life. To achieve that, sometimes it is necessary to step away from the day-to-day activities and challenges you face. We welcome seniors who need some support to enter our inpatient psychiatric and behavioral care center. During your time here, you’ll receive outstanding care and attention to your needs while we provide respectful and supportive treatment for your mental health needs.
The Importance of Seeking Help
Data reported by the National Council on Aging indicates that 1 in 5 Americans will face some type of mental health disorder during their lifetime. About 15% of people over the age of 50 are living with some type of mental health is order now. And, by 2030, the number of adulterous adults with such disorders is likely to double.
Seniors are at a high risk of developing mental health challenges for numerous reasons. If you are feeling unsure or struggling with depression or confusing thoughts, it may be time to seek help. You are certainly not alone in this battle, but you can get relief.
How Willow Creek Can Help You
Each person with mental health disorders needs a bit of different treatment and level of service. That is why we offer a wide range of services for seniors. Some of those services include the following:
- Medication management: The first step in your recovery is to balance medications. This process often takes a few days before you start to see results, and that could improve over time. We not only provide you with medication to treat symptoms but also educate you about why this may be a beneficial service.
- Trauma-informed care: We offer trauma-informed care, which means we understand that many people who suffer from mental health disorders need support for overcoming trauma in their lives. Seniors can count on us to provide care that’s always designed to support, not re-traumatize you.
- Individual and group therapy: When you become a member of our program, you receive the tailored care best suited for your needs. Most people benefit from both individual and group therapy, which facilitates this process. These are opportunities to create healing and teach you about managing your symptoms in real-world environments.
- Family therapy: Mental health disorders are not just your “problem.” They are your entire family’s path. Through family therapy, you learn and grow in your relationships when possible, helping to empower your family to support your long-term needs.
- 24/7 nursing support: When you are with us, you can expect to receive ongoing support from our nursing team. You are not left alone throughout this process but given the time and attention you need from a skilled nursing staff.
- Discharge planning: Care from our team is more than just preparing you to head back into the world. We want to provide you with all the necessary and possible tools to support long-term recovery and an improved quality of life. That is why we offer comprehensive discharge planning services.
- Follow-up care: Expect us to focus on creating a safe and structured environment when you are with us. Then, we work with you and your continued care team to create a smooth transition. We want to make sure you are receiving the type and level of care necessary at every stage.
Note that our psychiatrist-led team of clinicians is always working to provide you with the highest level of care possible. We do this through a multi-modal psychotherapeutic treatment. That means we use a variety of strategies rather than just a single treatment plan. This type of individualized care can make an incredible difference in your future.
