Adults 55+ Partial Hospitalization Program
The Heritage Partial Hospitalization Program is a short-term, ambulatory, active treatment program designed for adult (55+) mental health patients who are in acute psychiatric distress or have just completed an episode of acute inpatient care – but don’t require 24-hour supervision.
Located on the CHI Health Immanuel campus, we provide psychiatric crisis stabilization through daily, intensive programming. Individuals receive behavioral treatment in an outpatient setting while continuing to live in their own home or usual community setting.
Each patient referred is screened to determine the appropriateness of partial hospitalization services. Patients may participate if they meet criteria, are able to function independently and plan to actively participate in the program.
Adults 55+ Partial Hospitalization Program Specifics
The Heritage Partial Hospitalization Program is a five-day-a-week program, Monday through Friday. Upon admission, patients and staff members together develop an individualized, interdisciplinary treatment plan. The program includes:

Respectful, compassionate and individualized care is the focus of our team, which includes:
