Mental Health Services to older adults in the community who could not otherwise access more traditional, office-based mental health services.
Senior Support:
Supportive counseling and psychotherapy to clients in their homes, we provide a life-saving service. Social Workers provide treatment for problems of mood, bereavement, family discord and other mental health problems.
When our Social Workers go into the home they are there to respond to the needs of caregivers as well. Supporting the caregiver is essential to keeping a senior in their home. 80% of all care to seniors in this country is provided by families. If they burn out - otherwise unnecessary nursing home placements may be made. Our counseling addresses the emotional, familial, interpersonal and economic stressors that can lead toCaregiver Burnout and that can precipitate an otherwise avoidable nursing home placement. We Care for the Caregivers. We work with you to provide information, practical and emotional support so that you can take care of yourself as well as your family. These services are payable through Medicare, Medicare Supplemental Insurance and Private Pay.
Insure that your family is getting the care and services they need. Care Management is available on a Fee Per Service Basis.
Caregivers Need Care Too!
