Mature Adult Psychiatric Programs

Mature adults can have unique issues when it comes to mental illness. The Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute (PPI) recognizes these issues and has designed a number of programs specifically for older adults who may be suffering from mental illnesses or psychiatric disorders.

 At PPI, we offer adult patients a variety of psychiatric programs based on their specific needs.

Our Mature Adult Inpatient Psychiatric Program is designed for adults age 55 and older who require inpatient psychiatric care due to a mental illness that has significantly disrupted their daily activities. This program is also offered to older adults who are physically frail or require assistance with daily activities like walking.

Our Mature Adult Outpatient Psychiatric Program is for older adults who require short-term mental health treatment. This program recognizes the impact aging has on one’s mental health and provides treatment that effectively acknowledges aging and mental illness on an outpatient basis.

Our Mature Adult Psychiatric Assessment Program provides comprehensive evaluations by a psychiatrist and a neuropsychologist to assess for Dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. Follow up appointments for medication management are provided as well as support and education for the family.
