All too often, it's difficult to handle the many changes that come with advancing age. Chronic illness, the loss of independence, stress of caring for a loved one, and other issues can cause depression, anxiety, and emotional difficulties. Many older adults are unable to access mental health services due to physical limitations, lack of transportation, and sometimes care giving issues. Often times, they may be unwilling to travel to a therapist’s office to receive the treatment they need and deserve. Untreated illnesses, such depression and anxiety can lead to isolation, panic, lack of interest in caring for self, and increased physical deterioration.
To alleviate these obstacles, Grace Aging Services provides counseling services in the comfort & privacy of the individual’s home.
With clinical support, we can help the individual regain their sense of self and overall mental well-being.
