Our specialized program at Delta Specialty Hospital in Memphis, TN

At Delta, we are aware of how concerning it may be when you or a loved one experiences memory problems, behavior problems, sudden mental status changes such as disorientation, severe depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions.  That is why we have designed a specialty unit to address the particular needs of our community’s senior population.
