The Baptist East Home Health Agency offers mental health services to homebound individuals from Oldham, Henry and Trimble counties who have recently been in the hospital or are having increased symptoms of a psychiatric illness. 

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 caregivers about mental health issues, symptoms and medications.

Your family physician or psychiatrist can order a mental health nurse to work with you until your treatment goals are met. You may also receive home services from therapists, social workers and the agency chaplain, if needed.

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