Psych RN, Geriatric Inpatient

Who Are We?

We at Pine Rest believe in the power of healing and that everyone in our community has the right to expert care for mental health and substance use disorders.

We are much more than just the third largest non-profit behavioral health system in the country, our 220-acre main campus, and our network of clinical sites across Michigan.

We are a tight-knit community of healers who witness the impact of our life-changing work each day.

Each day, we are closing the gaps in access to care.

We are innovating through leading-edge research, testing, programs, and treatment modalities that others replicate across the country.

Our services include a state-of-the-art psychiatric urgent care center and a soon-to-be-built pediatric behavioral health center, outpatient, inpatient, partial hospitalization (day programs), assessment and testing, residential, addiction treatment and specialty services such as crisis response, employee assistance programs, forensic psychiatry and psychology, and neuromodulation.

On-the-job educational programs for nurses, psychologists, advanced practice providers, psychiatrists, and chaplains are equipping the next generation of care providers.

We are passionate about serving and are honored to be a part of this incredible work.

About the unit:

Growing older is a natural part of life.

Advancing age may bring a loss of independence and declining physical abilities.

Both are factors in the special mental health needs of older adults.

At Pine Rest, we have a complete assessment program for older adults and significant experience with successful treatment.

We provide the full continuum of individualized care, offered in a comfortable, supportive environment.

We believe in preserving and encouraging independence, coupled with care that is safe and practical for each individual.

The unit is 26 beds total, featuring a distinct close observation wing with 10 private patient rooms, allowing for separation of patients by capability.

Average length of stay is 15 to 20 days.

Our specialty services include treatment for dementia, depression and anxiety, as well as medication management.

Families often suffer along with their older relatives, and part of our program is designed especially for those who provide care on a daily basis.

We offer a support group aimed at building an understanding of the changes in loved ones, learning what to expect, and how to develop coping skills.
