At Psych Health Associates (PHA), we recognize the profound impact Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias have on residents, families, and care teams. Cognitive health is a cornerstone of overall well-being, and early recognition, compassionate support, and individualized care are key.

Our providers collaborate with long-term care teams to manage behavioral health needs, support cognitive functioning, and reduce unnecessary psychotropic medication use, ensuring residents receive dignified, evidence-based care.

This World Alzheimer’s Day, we reaffirm our commitment to enhancing quality of life for residents living with dementia and supporting facilities in delivering exceptional, compassionate psychiatric care.

Last month, Dr. Luisa Vega, DNP, CEO of Psych Health Associates (PHA), joined the Greater Orlando Community Coalition (GOCC) at Encompass Altamonte Springs to share strategies for reducing hospital readmissions and improving behavioral health outcomes in long-term care.

Managing psychiatric conditions that increase readmission risk, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and dementia with behavioral symptoms

Ensuring smooth hospital-to-nursing home transitions for safer, more effective care

Implementing CMS guidelines on medication management, including proper documentation, non-pharmacological interventions, and consent for medication changes

Supporting dementia patients, who make up 70% of nursing home residents, with behavioral and psychiatric expertise

At PHA, we have dedicated providers all around Florida who are committed to compassionate, research-informed care for long-term care residents. Our team stays on top of the latest behavioral health best practices to ensure residents receive safe, effective, and person-centered care.
