RN-Per Diem

The Inpatient Geriatric Psych Unit at Samaritan Hospital is a 20-bed unit, and part of the Behavioral Health Center within the hospital. We offer a warm, attractive, homelike environment with both private and semiprivate rooms. An interdisciplinary team provides specialized care to meet the medical, psychiatric and social needs of the older adult.

Older adults are more susceptible to depression and behavioral health problems due to their declining health and loss of friends and loved ones. We combine the expertise of Samaritan Hospital and The Eddy to address the unique psychiatric and psychological needs of the geriatric patient.

For nearly 30 years, Samaritan Hospital has served as a resource for individuals dealing with psychological, psychiatric and addiction challenges. Believing that everyone is entitled to respect, personal dignity and the opportunity to take an active part in their plan of care, our programs provide a safe and secure environment to enhance the lives of thousands of individuals and families. By offering opportunities for independence and the skills needed to overcome the challenges of their illness, we help to improve our clients' productivity, self-esteem and satisfaction with life.
