You can find Moses Taylor Hospital on Quincy Avenue in Scranton, Pennsylvania. They are located in close proximity to The University of Scranton, the 307 expressway and several restaurants and medical facilities.

They are located mainly in a residential area with easy access to transportation as well as area parks and other natural attractions, like the Nay Aug Park and the Lackawanna River. The hospital includes plenty of onsite parking and is open 24 hours a day.
Specializing in Geriatric Behavioral Health Services
They provide geriatric behavioral health services that address your mental health issues and substance use disorder through inpatient services. Their treatment services are available to you if you are 55 years or older and will address your needs through an individualized treatment plan.
They will focus on mental health issues that particularly affect more mature populations. Issues may include loneliness and grief due to those passing away that are close to you. They also work with you on relationship issues, psychoses, dementia and cognitive behavioral issues.
Focus on Mental Health with Referrals for SUD Treatment
Therapy is provided and may include medication to assist in your treatment. They will also work with you on securing referrals for substance use disorder care. As a full-service hospital, they can provide you with crisis care if you are in need of emergency help. Keep in mind that this facility is primarily focused on psychiatry, but they if you need a more specialized addiction treatment program, they can give you a referral.
For their inpatient program, they require your participation in group activities and treatment through therapy. You also need a referral from either their emergency department or a psychiatrist in order to receive inpatient treatment.
They will also provide you with educational information on your mental health conditions and other disorders, to help prepare you for community reintegration. I also find it encouraging that they include nutritional consultations, to make sure you can return to a healthier lifestyle.
