Community members are invited to join Community Hospital-Fairfax’s Senior Life Solutions program for an open house style “Refresher” Wednesday, July 19, 2023, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. This “Refresher” has been scheduled to celebrate Senior Life Solutions’ return to in-person services this month following approximately three years of providing treatment virtually.
Gail Heitman, Program Director of Senior Life Solutions, said, “This event is the perfect opportunity for anyone interested in learning more about our program to come see our space, learn more about the services we provide and meet our dedicated staff.”
Guests will have the opportunity to tour the Senior Life Solutions building (south of the emergency room entrance at Community Hospital-Fairfax), learn how treatment at Senior Life Solutions improves patient lives, and ask questions while enjoying a refreshing summer drink and treat.
Senior Life Solutions is a mental and emotional health program designed to meet the unique needs of individuals typically 65 and older experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, and/or other emotional struggles related to life changes that are often associated with aging.
The program staff includes a board-certified psychiatrist, two licensed professional counselors, a registered nurse, and a certified nurse assistant focused on helping older adults in the community navigate difficult life transitions and regain their quality of life.
Since spring of 2020, the Senior Life Solutions program has offered services to senior adults via telehealth due to the pandemic. Senior Life Solutions staff members, Community Hospital-Fairfax providers, and patients alike are thrilled to be returning to in-person services this month. Program participants may now gather together around the table to overcome challenges, boost their moods, and work toward improvements in life satisfaction.
Heitman said, “We look forward to meeting members of our community on July 19 and for the opportunity to help those struggling to improve their quality of life through our services.”
If you or someone you know is struggling with loneliness, trouble sleeping, low energy, crying spells, excessive worry, difficulty adjusting to a recent life change, or other mental/emotional health issues, Senior Life Solutions may be able to help.
