Home Mental Health Care



The Baptist Hospital East Home Health Agency offers mental health services to homebound individuals who have recently been in the hospital or are having increased symptoms of a psychiatric illness. Our mental health nurses have specialized knowledge, skills and abilities and can provide the following services:

  • assessment of a patient's response to medication and intervention if side effects occur,
  • counseling patients suffering from depression caused by a chronic medical problem, pain, or grief and loss issues, and
  • teaching patients and care givers about mental health issues, symptoms and medications.

Your physician or psychiatrist can order a mental health nurse to work with you. You may also receive home services from therapists, aides, social workers and the chaplain, if needed.

For more information or to make a referral, call (502) 454-5656 or (800) 248-0289.
