The Geriatric Psychiatry team at the UNMC and Nebraska Medicine provide comprehensive care for the special physical, emotional, and social needs of older patients aged 65 and older. We also help train the next generation of clinical providers through our supervision of trainees in our clinic and through the Dementia in Long-Term Care series: https://www.unmc.edu/intmed/divisions/geriatrics/education/resources/dementia.html
Our Nursing Home Consultation Service brings mental health care to Omaha area assisted and long-term care facilities. Our Telepsychiatry Consultation Service, under the direction of Dr Thomas Magnuson, enables patients in nursing homes and long-term care facilities across rural Nebraska to be evaluated and treated for mental health problems.
Steven P. Wengel, MD serves as the Director of the UNMC Geriatric Psychiatry Services.
