Senior Life Solutions


Senior Life Solutions is a program dedicated to addressing the emotional and behavioral health of older adults.

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. Compass Memorial Healthcare's Senior Life Solutions is an intensive outpatient group therapy program designed to meet the unique needs of adults typically 65 years of age 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:

Loss of a loved one
Decreased energy
Difficulty sleeping/eating
Life transitions
Acting as a caregiver
Recent health diagnosis
Chronic health condition
Feeling lonely or isolated
Feelings of uncertainty and worry
Loss of interest

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

Services offered by Compass Memorial Healthcare's Senior Life Solutions in a confidential, comprehensive assessment, group, and individual therapy, family therapy, medication education and management, and after-care planning, where we continue to engage and support our participants. Even though this is a group setting, each person is addressed individually based on their unique needs.
