The Geriatric Outpatient Practice
The Geriatric Outpatient Practice provides assessment, consultation, and various types of ongoing treatment for older adults. Most often, patients are seen individually by the senior psychiatrist or an advanced practice registered nurse for medication management at monthly or longer intervals, depending on individual need. Specialty consultations, second opinions, and services at certain assisted living or nursing homes are also offered.

The Older Adults Intensive Outpatient Program
The Older Adults Intensive Outpatient Program serves older adults who are experiencing a worsening of their psychiatric illness. This intensive program is often a "step-down" from an inpatient hospitalization or a "step-up" from outpatient level of care. The goal of the program is to help people recover and learn ways to stay well. The program runs from 9:00 AM to 12:20 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Patients attend all three days per week. The average program length is 4-6 weeks. In the course of a day, patients attend various types of psychotherapy groups that are effective in treating emotional and psychological problems. Patients may also have individual medication management meetings with clinical staff, including the advanced practice registered nurse or program psychiatrist.
