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 including the loss of loved ones and stress from age-related health concerns.

Myrtue Medical Center’s Senior Life Solutions is an intensive outpatient group therapy program designed to meet the unique needs of adults typically ages 65 and older struggling with symptoms of depression and anxiety often related to aging.

If you or someone you know has recently experienced any of the following, this program might be right for you:

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

Following an individual assessment, patients meet up to three times per week in a supportive, encouraging group setting.

The program staff includes a board-certified psychiatrist, licensed social workers, a registered nurse, and other professionals dedicated to the emotional well-being of the seniors in our community.

Individuals may self-refer into the program. Referrals to the program also can be made by anyone, including a patient’s physician, family member or another healthcare professional.
