Psychiatric Care in a Safe, Supportive Setting

Sub-Text: As people grow older, they face various life changes that can impact their mental and emotional well-being. Grief from losing loved ones, declines in physical or mental capabilities, sudden lifestyle changes, and increasing physical challenges can all contribute to cognitive decline and behavioral issues. While minor symptoms may be a standard part of aging, ongoing personality shifts or unusual behaviors might signal that a loved one requires assistance.

You’re Not Alone

Emotional illnesses, including depression, are significant issues for older adults. National data indicates that one in four older individuals experiences serious emotional challenges associated with aging. Research reveals that about 70% of primary care visits among seniors are influenced by psychological factors, such as panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and major depression. The American Psychological Association states that older Americans have the highest suicide rates across all age demographics.
