Behavioral Group Homes
Mental and Behavioral Support for Seniors
As people age, it is common for mental or behavioral complications to arise. Those who already struggled with these concerns may also experience worsening symptoms in their golden years, especially if they have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. If your aging loved one’s quality of life is being impaired due to a mental or behavioral health concern, know that you are not alone! Countless seniors in the Phoenix metropolitan area struggle with depression, anxiety, addiction, and other issues. At behavioral group homes, they are able to manage their symptoms and learn to live more independently and joyfully.
What is a Behavioral Group Home?
Group homes are private, residential spaces for medical, mental, or behavioral care. The group home model is most commonly used to treat young people and adults with complex health needs or chronic disabilities. More recently, however, the group home model has been applied to seniors with dementia, age-related illnesses, and unique behavioral health needs. Here in Phoenix, there are behavioral group homes for seniors with:
Anxiety
Bipolar disorder
Depression
Memory loss
Mood disorders
Personality disorders
Post-traumatic stress
Schizophrenia
Substance abuse or addiction
And more
