Quality Care
Since 1997 CMHS has provided the highest ethical and quality psychiatric care to residents in long-term and assisted living facilities in Connecticut. Providing psychiatric care is our only business therefore we are able to dedicate ourselves to the delicate practice of providing elders with safe and responsible psychiatric care. We have also been recognized by the Department of Public Health for our superb clinical paperwork that works in conjunction with the facilities plan for care for a consistent approach to treatment.
CMHS views psychiatric care not just as medication management, but also as a holistic approach to care. We provide residents with individual and group psychotherapy, as this is often as effective as medication in the treatment of some psychiatric illnesses. We also provide the staff at the facilities with behavior management techniques so they are better able to respond to the needs of the residents. CMHS also provides diagnostic testing to all referred patients and comprehensive neuropsychological assessments whenever necessary.
When clinically necessary, CMHS can assist with rapid, direct hospitalization by our own CMHS psychiatrists. Inpatient treatment may be managed at the Hebrew Healthcare Behavioral Health Unit with services provided by our own clinicians, ensuring excellent communication with our facilities and superb continuity of care.
