Mental Health Care in Senior Living Communities

Mental Health

Cognitive Care Specialists

Just like our physical health, mental health and wellness continually evolve as we age.

This means it presents new challenges the older we get. Because the signs of physical conditions and mental health conditions often overlap, it can also get harder to know when seniors need behavioral health care.

How iTrust Can Help?

Personalized Care and Guidance

Personalized Care & Guidance

Seniors may struggle with transitioning to a new reality, which can increase feelings of sadness, anger, and anxiety. They often have a fear of losing their independence and experience more social isolation. These life-altering events frequently lead to an ambiguity between what constitutes "circumstantial blues" and what are actually mental health concerns. Finding the true extent of mental health diagnoses can help clarify why symptoms are presenting and how to alleviate them.

Testimonial

"A quick note to let her boss know how very much we appreciate Misty! She’s been seeing my mom, who has advanced/late/end stage Alzheimer’s, in assisted living. Misty has been the first and only one in our experience so far at the assisted living who has any working knowledge of the disease, picked up on tidbits of information we’ve been able to provide to take appropriate next action, knows what to look for, how to interpret it, and possible solutions. Misty has been very matter-of-fact while at the same time being very sensitive to the family while providing a wealth of information. She has truly been a lifesaver for us in a difficult time, walking us through different possibilities, when too many in the field are not well versed in dealing with this disease process. I’ve looked forward to hearing what Misty has had to offer more than any other provider, and appreciate her more than I can express. I trust all at iTrust Wellness Group values her as much as we do. "
