Geriatric psychiatry
Compassionate mental health care for adults 65 and older, focused on emotional wellness, independence, and dignity.
Growing older brings change. Mental health should not be overlooked.
At Ageless Minds Mental Health and Wellness, we specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults age 65 and older. Our goal is to help older adults maintain emotional wellness, independence, and the highest possible quality of life.
Led by Queela Tadoum, PMHNP-BC, we provide individualized psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing mental health treatment in a respectful and supportive environment.
Whether you are seeking care for yourself or a loved one, we understand that aging presents unique emotional, cognitive, and medical challenges.

Treatment for the conditions that affect aging adults.
A thoughtful approach to medication for aging adults.
Older adults often take multiple medications for chronic medical conditions. We carefully evaluate every medication to reduce unnecessary polypharmacy while selecting treatments that are both effective and appropriate for aging adults.
- Careful review of all current medications
- Monitoring for medication interactions
- Gradual medication adjustments when appropriate
- Ongoing assessment of side effects
- Collaboration with primary care physicians and specialists
- Consideration of age-related changes in metabolism and medical conditions
Our philosophy is to prescribe thoughtfully, using the lowest effective dose whenever appropriate while carefully balancing benefits and risks.
Caregivers are essential partners in treatment.
Mental illness and memory disorders affect the entire family. We welcome caregiver participation—with the patient’s permission or as otherwise appropriate.

- Medication education
- Behavioral management strategies
- Safety recommendations
- Caregiver support
- Collaboration with assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, and primary care teams
