Day clinic for the elderly

The day clinic for the elderly is a day-care facility for patients aged 60 and over with illnesses from the entire psychiatric spectrum. Treatment in the day clinic is possible if outpatient treatment is no longer sufficient, but full inpatient treatment is not necessary. We offer our patients an intensive therapy programme while allowing them to remain in their familiar home environment. Some of our patients use the day clinic programme as a therapeutically supported transition from inpatient to outpatient treatment.

-Based on a detailed diagnosis, which also includes possible somatic issues, an individualised treatment plan with a psychotherapeutic focus is drawn up.

-We offer both individual therapy sessions and multiple weekly group sessions. We develop individualised solutions with each patient. One focus is on maintaining and increasing independence and the ability to interact socially. We also work with our patients to develop possible coping strategies for age-related changes. Another focus is the optimisation of individual psychopharmacotherapy.
