Behavioral Health

Most often the familiarity of the home setting provides the best environment to care for patients with emotional and behavioral health disorders.  Masonicare Partners Home Health & Hospice provides goal-oriented, patient-centered solutions - helping patients regain independence in the comfort of their own homes.

Behavioral health services are designed to meet the specialized needs of individuals who may be experiencing a psychiatric or medical crisis involving an adjustment to:

• The loss of a loved one (depression or grief)
• Illness/multiple medical problems
• Cognitive disorders (including Alzheimer's disease and dementia)
• Suicidal thinking
• Sleep disorders
• Substance abuse
• Noncompliance with medications or treatment plans
• Prior psychiatric history

The behavioral health program complements community-based care and coordinates services for patients by providing links between inpatient hospital programs, outpatient services, residential housing, group/boarding homes, or respite care.  

The interdisciplinary team uses a holistic approach.  This team includes the Behavioral Health RN, Medical Social Worker, Rehabilitation Services, Home Health Aides, and Homemakers.

Thanks to this comprehensive and coordinated approach, Masonicare Partners Home Health & Hospice accomplishes better management of the patient's illness, maximum functional independence for the patient, and improved quality of life.
