Our Senior Life Solutions program is designed to meet the specific needs of hospitals based in rural areas. We’ve successfully partnered with both small and large, for-profit and non-profit, hospitals. Together, we can address the needs of your community and improve the quality of life for your senior patients while providing a financial benefit to your hospital.
Hospital partner management services include:
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 your 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 your patients’ primary care physicians regarding medication changes. Patients meet up to three times per week with our caring, multidisciplinary team of registered nurses, board-certified psychiatrists, and licensed therapists.
Our program is designed to help individuals experiencing any of the following:
How Do Referrals Work?Referrals to the program can be made by anyone, including a patient’s physician, family member, the patient themself, or another healthcare professional. |
The Program’s StaffProgram staff includes a board-certified psychiatrist, a nurse practitioner, a licensed therapist, a registered nurse, and other trained professionals to ensure each patient receives the best possible care. |
What is Group Therapy?Following an individual assessment, participants meet up to 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.
