Senior Life Solutions

Aging brings many joys — more time with family and freedom in retirement — but our older years can also bring difficult life transitions, the loss of loved ones, or stress from age-related health concerns.

At Senior Life Solutions, we individualize our patient care plans to meet patients’ specific needs. Our services include group, individual, or family therapy, along with mental health evaluations, community resources, and after-care planning. If applicable, we will consult the patients’ primary care physicians regarding medication changes.

Our program is designed to help individuals experiencing any of the following:

• Recently experienced a traumatic event
• Lost a spouse or close family member
• Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities
• Changes in appetite
• Difficulty sleeping
• Loss of energy
• Feelings of sadness or grief lasting more than two weeks
• Feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness

How it Works

Following an individual assessment, participants meet three times per week in a supportive, encouraging group therapy setting. These sessions allow each patient to gain a greater understanding of him or herself and have the opportunity to create relationships with other people who may be facing similar challenges. During group therapy, patients will engage in open conversation guided by a licensed therapist and learn new skills to support their mental health wellness for the remainder of their lives.

Program participatins can expect to:

1. Confidential, Comprehensive Assessment: Each participant begins with a thorough assessment to identify their specific needs and tailor a personalized care plan.
2. Group and Individual Therapy: We offer both group therapy sessions to enhance a sense of community and individual therapy to address personal concerns and goals.
3. Family Therapy: Recognizing the crucial role of family in the healing process, we involve family members to ensure a supportive environment outside of therapy.
4. Medication Education and Management: Our team provides education about medications and oversees their management to optimize therapeutic outcomes.
5. After-Care Planning: We ensure continued support and engagement through detailed after-care plans, helping participants transition smoothly back into their daily lives with ongoing resources and support.

Individuals do not need a referral to join a Senior Life Solutions program. Family members, doctors, or other healthcare professionals are able to refer a patient if they believe the program would benefit the individual.
