Premier Psychiatric Solutions is committed to providing high-quality behavioral health services to senior residents.
Why Choose Us
As a provider or senior facility manager, the gap between access and care can put a strain on your business, too. Seniors require medical care that integrates standard, preventative care with specialized care for chronic conditions and behavioral health. Your facility may not have the time and resources to provide seniors with comprehensive geriatric care, and must refer them out to a psychiatric specialist for their behavioral health needs.
Premier Psychiatry uses a unique model of psychiatric collaborative care. The Premier model brings primary care medical professionals, behavioral healthcare specialists, and a psychiatry team to senior care practices and facilities to provide counseling and pharmacologic intervention therapy.
About Us
Premier Psychiatric Solutions was developed from a sister organization (Premier Geriatric Solutions) that was founded by Dr. Bradley Goad following years of post-acute care experience. As Premier Geriatrics began to grow, based on excellent patient care, high-quality customer service, and a driven attitude to fill gaps in the care continuum, it was easy to see that quality mental health services was a huge need. Premier Psychiatric Solutions started in a small area with a Board-Certified Geriatric Psychiatrist overseeing a handful of regional psychiatry-trained APPs. From there, the psychiatry team has separated into a group of its own and is comprised of dedicated professionals (physicians and APPs) who devote countless hours treating and managing patient needs across multiple regions in two states. The service our team provides to the patient and our facility partners continues to have a positive and measurable impact.
The Premier Psychiatric Difference
The difference our psychiatric providers make in our facilities is truly life changing. From stabilizing the most challenging dementia behaviors to preventing psychiatric emergencies, our team has proven time and again that our care not only improves quality metrics, but improves the overall patient’s quality of life.
Let us help you meet and exceed the needs of your residents and your facility.
Because quality care is our goal, we staff Board Certified Geriatric Psychiatrists who oversee our mental health department and our psychiatric trained clinicians.
