Geriatric Psychiatry: Senior Mental Health Unit
Our mission is to restore the ability of older adults to live and function as fully as possible and to adapt to the
complexities of aging.
Geriatric psychiatry is offered at Emory Eastside Medical Center on the Eastside Heritage Center campus
off Highway 78 on Fountain Drive in Snellville. These services are part of the Senior Mental Health Unit. This
inpatient program is a comprehensive, psychiatrist-supervised service for older adults who are suffering from
emotional or behavioral problems.
The skilled professionals at the Senior Mental Health Inpatient Program can help patients and their family
members who are struggling with problems such as confusion, depression, memory loss, mood swings,
anxiety, frequent medical problems, withdrawal or isolation from others and suicidal thoughts. The treatment
addresses the psychiatric, medical and social aspects of these concerns.
Individualized treatment plans are designed to meet each patient's specific needs. The program is also
designed to support family members, and to educate them on how they can be part of the ongoing treatment
process.
The Senior Mental Health Inpatient Program team is comprised of highly trained professional led by boardcertified
geriatric psychiatrists. An integrated, personalized, intensive treatment plan includes the following:
• Comprehensive psychiatric assessment and treatment
• Individual and group counseling
• Therapies including occupational, physical, speech, and respiratory
• Activity therapy
• Nutritional counseling
• Medication education
• Family counseling
• Aftercare support
