Center for Geriatric Psychiatry

The Center for Geriatric Psychiatry at Wing Memorial Hospital, in partnership with New England Geriatrics, offers patients 55 and older personalized care in a safe, friendly atmosphere. Our goal is to help these patients when they need us most and restore them to good mental health. On average, hospitalization lasts 10 days. The 15-bed Center for Geriatric Psychiatry is designed to:

  • Stabilize geriatric patients in psychiatric crisis
  • Provide onsite access to Wing Memorial's team of specialists and health care professionals
  • Improve coping and cognition skills through individual and group therapy
  • Assist patients to resume daily activities
  • Offer education to patients and families

The hallmark of our program is our exceptional team of psychiatric professionals who specialize in geriatric psychiatry. Using the strengths and abilities of each patient, we implement a customized treatment plan that involves a team approach and produces the best recovery for our patients.

General outpatient mental health and substance abuse services are available at Wing Memorial's Griswold Behavioral Health Center.
