Behavioral Health
Most often the familiarity of the home setting provides the best environment to care for patients with emotional and behavioral health disorders. Connecticut VNA Partners 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, Connecticut VNA Partners accomplishes better management of the patient's illness, maximum functional independence for the patient, and improved quality of life.
