It is a locked unit, which serves the acute needs for psychiatric stabilization. Patients must be medically stable and meet admission criteria as a danger to self or others needing 24-hour care for monitoring psychiatric medication adjustments.
Patients are referred to other services for alcohol/drug rehabilitation; or long term residential needs.
Our staff is trained in non-violent crisis intervention techniques and responds to Code 58 (Disturbance calls) anywhere in the hospital. Each shift has an Intake Coordinator to assist the psychiatrist with admissions, and serves as the bed controller for the Behavioral Health Unit.
We have an Adult & Geriatric Unit. We do not do adolescent or chemical dependency.
We have three Psychiatrists. We have 7 Geriatric beds & 20 Adult beds with a capacity to “overflow” 8. We are licensed for a total of 34 patients.
Average census is 16 adults & 5 Geriatric
Length of stay is approximately 3-5 days for adults & 7-10 days for Geriatric.
They do a monthly call schedule taking turns & so there would be 3 Psychiatrists to rotate instead of 2.
