About UAB Medical West
Located in Bessemer, Alabama, minutes from Interstate 459 and the main hospital entrance, the Geriatric Psychiatry Unit makes care easy with free parking and valet service. Designed for older adults facing depression, memory loss, and late-life emotional health challenges, the program offers specialized care to help patients regain balance and dignity.
Find Renewal Through Family Involvement
Care combines 1-on-1 and group therapy, spiritual guidance, and family counseling to support emotional healing. With loved ones involved, older adults regain healthy sleep, reduce challenging behaviors, and rebuild focus for a steadier, more connected daily life.
Connect With Loved Ones in a Supportive Space
Family involvement is encouraged through scheduled daily visits, with private rooms available for meaningful time together. Nurses help coordinate alternative arrangements for families needing flexibility. Every effort is made to create a safe and compassionate environment where seniors can focus on recovery and families feel reassured.
