Behavioral Health Services
At Sentry, we take a comprehensive approach to Behavioral Health services, ensuring patients have seamless access to high-quality mental health care, wherever they are. Our team of psychiatrists and nurse practitioners specializes in addressing the situations faced by older adults, delivering care to meet every individual’s needs.
But we go beyond mental health support. Depending on individual treatment plans, our holistic care includes access to physical therapists, dietitians, and other specialists, creating a well-rounded approach to enhancing overall well-being. At Sentry Medical, we’re committed to supporting patients through their health care journey.
Diagnostic Evaluation
We believe in helping your residents feel their best. By actively assessing their psychosocial well-being, we uncover the challenges they face and develop a personalized treatment plan designed to improve their quality of life.
Individualized Care Plans
Mental health journeys are unique, and we tailor our care to match each individual’s needs. Studies show psychotherapy eases anxiety and depression while also protecting seniors against cognitive decline.
Family Therapy
Families are essential to mental and emotional well-being. We create a safe space where families can share openly, strengthen their bonds, and learn effective communication. Whether resolving conflicts, navigating trauma, or processing grief, we guide families toward deeper connection and mutual understanding.
Behavior Management
Disruptive behaviors can impact a resident’s well-being and the community atmosphere. We work closely with residents to address challenges like isolation, aggression, wandering, or struggles with daily tasks. By equipping them with healthier coping strategies and providing individualized care, we help improve both their lives and the broader community dynamic.
For older adults, navigating the changes and transitions that come with aging can be incredibly tough. Losing a loved one, facing health challenges, or adjusting to a new home are life events that may feel overwhelming and take an emotional toll. These shifts can sometimes lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, or other mental health concerns. It’s important to remember you don’t have to face these difficulties alone – we’re here to help, with compassion and care.
If you or a loved one are experiencing challenges like:
- Coping with a long-term illness or disability
- Dementia and related conditions
- Adjusting to a new living environment
- Grieving the loss of a loved one
- Managing medication side effects or issues with substance use
- Dealing with poor nutrition
Certain signs can indicate that additional mental health care may be needed, such us:
- Persistent feelings of sadness or depression
- Withdrawing from loved ones or losing interest in activities
- Struggles with memory or increasing confusion
- Changes in appetite or noticeable weight fluctuations
- Feelings of worthlessness or thought of self-harm
- Agitation, aggression, or mood swings
- Experience of hallucinations or neglecting personal care
These emotions and behaviors should never be ignored. Seeking professional help is a courageous step toward improved quality of life. It’s okay to lean on others for support, whether it’s a healthcare provider, loved one, or a trusted community resource. You are not alone—we’re here to walk this path with you.
