Senior Care Program Management
Aging presents a unique set of behavioral health challenges for many older adults. Yet, senior mental health needs often go unseen. Our senior care program management services are here to help.
Meeting the Unique Needs of Older Adults
Horizon Health’s senior care programs serve adults aged 65 and older, providing specialized care and therapeutic programming. Research has shown that older adults are often less comfortable seeking care from a mental health professional than their younger counterparts. Due to stigma, misinformation and false beliefs about aging, they frequently go without adequate care for depression and other psychiatric illnesses and psychological problems.
Horizon Health strives to promote successful aging and help your patients maintain positive psychological experiences that will keep them socially engaged and improve cognition and physical function. Together, we can help your aging population improve their overall quality of life.
