Description:

The GRACE Unit provides inpatient services in a secure unit dedicated to treating older adults with acute psychiatric and behavioral health issues. This 14-bed unit is located within Regina Hospital and serves patients throughout Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. The GRACE staff recognizes the specialized needs of older adults whose mental health issues are often complicated by co-existing medical, social and economic factors.
The first thing our team will do is a thorough evaluation to help determine what's causing the behavioral and mental changes. Our highly skilled staff provides focused and compassionate care. This interdisciplinary team includes:
- Geriatric Psychiatric Director
- Medical Director
- 24-hour Psychiatric Nursing Staff
- Social Services
- Activity Therapists
- Treatment and Support

The GRACE Unit treatment team is focused on providing the best care possible to every patient entrusted to our care. This patient-specific treatment process is continually reviewed and adjusted, based on several psychiatric evaluations, medical assessments when appropriate, care planning, and continual observation and interaction with the psychiatric nursing staff. Other components of the program include:
- Therapeutic exercise
- Group activities
- Pastoral care
- Family involvement

This inpatient program is committed to treating the entire patient in preparation for a successful discharge.
