Our Focus

Older adults have different mental health needs. At Magnolia Behavioral Health, we've built our programs and care team around them.

Mission and Vision

Our Mission

To provide older adults with safe, specialized psychiatric care, and to help them return home with the stability and support they need.

Our Vision

A community where older adults can get specialized psychiatric care when they need it, close to home and with their families involved.

Who we serve

Care designed for older adults

We treat older adults, typically age 45 and up, who are experiencing acute psychiatric symptoms or behavioral changes that affect their safety, independence, or daily life. At this stage of life, mental health conditions are often tied to medical illness, medication changes, or major life events, and general psychiatric programs are not always set up to manage both.

Our clinicians are experienced in how psychiatric conditions present in older adults, how they interact with physical health and medications, and how to involve families in treatment.

Conditions we treat

Specialized help for a range of conditions

Our team assesses and treats the psychiatric and behavioral conditions most common among older adults.

  • Depression & mood disorders

  • Anxiety disorders

  • Dementia-related behavioral changes

  • Bipolar disorder

  • Psychosis & thought disorders

  • Grief & adjustment difficulties

  • Agitation & aggression

  • Medication management concerns

  • Suicidal thoughts & safety concerns

This list is not exhaustive. Our admissions team can help determine whether Magnolia is the right fit for a specific situation.
