Senior Adult Intensive Outpatient Program
Senior Adults experience a variety of unique and difficult life
conditions that can be overwhelming at times. Loss of independence, physical
decline, loss of loved ones, safety concern, and multiple losses are just a few
that can make life seem unmanageable. This can lead to emotional problems that
can decrease the ability to cope with daily tasks. Depression is one of the most
treatable medical conditions there is according to health care professionals.
Each Senior Adult will have an individualized plan of treatment to deal
specifically with their unique set of problems. Family members, caregivers, and
primary care physicians are encouraged in the process and be part of the
solution.
The Day Break Program at Glen Oaks Hospital is a professional mental health
program, designed to meet the individual needs of Senior Adults suffering from
emotional and/or psychiatric disorders. The Day Break Program is an intensive
outpatient program that provides services Monday through Friday. The staff
provide a multidisciplinary approach in the least restrictive environment
