Senior Adult Services Senior Adult
Services Senior Adult Services are offered at all Mountain View Behavioral Health Centers and Mountain View Hospital. These centers are specifically designed to assist individuals over the age of sixty with their unique and challenging needs. Because we believe that older adults have much to share with others including wisdom, patience and courage, Mountain View Hospital has developed several additional resources in addition to the Senior Adult Day Programs.
Senior
Adult Day Center Mountain View Hospital in Gadsden, AL and Mountain View Behavioral Health Center in Montgomery, offer Senior Adult Day Services. The Senior Adult Day Center allows for treatment and evaluation of individuals in a structured partial hospitalization program (4 1/2 hours per day) while still allowing them the freedom to live at home. This is accomplished through an individualized schedule of group therapy activities. The program treatment team consists of Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Counselors, Nurses, and Case Managers. Each client undergoes an intensive assessment to provide an individualized plan of care. Services are provided Monday through Friday, a noon meal is provided and transportation can be arranged at no charge.
Partial
Day Program The Partial Day Program is designed to assist adults of all ages with emotional, behavioral, and substance abuse problems. Each Center provides clients with a supportive, structured environment without interrupting family life. The Program is tailored to each individual’s needs, level of functioning, and ability to progress. With a full range of services, we are dedicated to providing for the emotional, behavioral, and/or substance abuse needs of adults. This is accomplished through an individualized, structured schedule of group therapy and activities throughout the Hospitalization. The Partial Hospitalization Program was created to help our clients improve their quality of living. For more information, call the Partial Day Program at (256) 546-9265 or (800) 245-3645 Ext. 268 or 276.
SeniorView
Resource Center The SeniorView Resource Center at Mountain View was developed as the single resource to inform seniors and their families of any services available, to coordinate these services for individuals and to provide a single point of access to any agency needed. At Mountain View, we work closely with all agencies throughout the community that provide many services for seniors and their families. We believe that quality of life, chronic conditions, disabilities, and life threatening illnesses frequently can be prevented or improved through the many senior programs available in our community. These services save millions in healthcare costs and most importantly, enable older adults to remain active and independent members of their families and communities The
SeniorView Resource Center at Mountain View Hospital is committed to helping
our growing senior population gain access to the community resources that
are so vital to obtaining a better quality of life. Many times senior
citizens and their families may not be aware of services available nor how
to access these resources. SeniorView Resource Center was created to change
this. We believe that quality of life, chronic conditions, disabilities, and
life-threatening illnesses frequently can be prevented or improved through
the many senior programs available in our community. The
SeniorView Resource Center has worked hard to obtain resource information
and to establish relationships with these resources and providers in order
to better serve the needs of seniors. We strive to approach each need on an
individual and personal basis in order to provide the best service possible.
By matching seniors and their families to the available resources, we
believe that this could enable older adults to remain active and independent
members of their families and communities. The calls to SeniorView that are most often received are for information on health care, transportation, home health agencies, sitters list, Medicare, Social Security, help with medicine, senior housing, and adult day services.
