GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRY INPATIENT PROGRAM | ZUCKER HILLSIDE HOSPITAL - NORTHWELL HEALTH

Offers two inpatient units with a combined 42 beds and a multidisciplinary behavioral health team with special gerontological expertise. Our patients include elders with late-life depression, psychotic disorders, medical/neurological illnesses with psychiatric symptoms and Alzheimer's disease or related conditions with serious behavioral disturbances, such as agitation, aggression, psychosis and mood abnormalities. Our dedicated geropsychiatric units ensure that patients are grouped in an age-sensitive setting with other older patients, rather than commingled with younger psychiatric patients whose clinical symptoms and behaviors may be especially unsettling to elders. Most major insurances are accepted. Call for detailed information.
