Welcome to the Inpatient Behavioral Health Services Units 10fg and 10hi at TriHealth Good Samaritan Hospital, where we specialize in providing compassionate and comprehensive care for adults aged 18 and up. Our unit operates on an acute crisis stabilization model, ensuring that patients receive the urgent care they need to regain stability and well-being.

Our multidisciplinary team approach brings together a diverse group of healthcare professionals, including registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and Acute Care Technicians (ACTs). Our collaborative effort ensures that each patient receives personalized and holistic care tailored to their unique needs.

We have a dedicated 10 bed geriatric space that focuses on dementia and patients with cognitive impairment. We have 28 other beds for adults experiencing depression and other mental illnesses. Patients on our unit typically stay for an average of 5-7 days, during which they benefit from the expertise and support of our dedicated team. 

Our staffing model is designed to provide optimal care around the clock, with RNs, LPNs, ACTs, therapists, and social workers. We are available during day, evening, and night shifts. We offer twelve-hour shifts, with a twelve-hour shift every third weekend and a weekend option for those who prefer it. 

We typically maintain an average patient-to-staff ratio of 1:5. While we prefer nurses with psychiatric/behavioral health experience, we warmly welcome new graduates who are eager to learn and grow in a supportive environment.

Join us at the Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit, where we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of our patients through compassionate care and a collaborative team spirit. We offer a 5–6-week orientation that can be shortened or extended dependent upon the new team members learning needs.
