Manning Regional Healthcare Center recognizes that COVID-19 is not only affecting individuals physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Americans of all ages are experiencing increased social isolation and loneliness in combating the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We appreciate the opportunity to partner with Senior Life Solutions to bring this service to Adena Pike Medical Center,” said Brandy Strain, APMC Director of Nursing. “This partnership supports the needs and services that critical access hospitals provide to our rural community and we could not be more excited to offer this program to patients.”
Adena Pike Medical Center (APMC) has partnered with Senior Life Solutions on an intensive outpatient group therapy program for seniors. Senior Life Solutions is designed to meet the unique needs of older adults typically ages 65 and over struggling with symptoms of depression and anxiety, stress from age-related health concerns, or difficult life transitions such as the loss of a loved one.
PMC inpatient and outpatient programs across the country joined efforts to raise awareness in their communities during Mental Health Month 2020.
Senior Life Solutions honors the top performing employees annually based on their excellence in demonstrating the company’s values of care, compliance, and community. Award recipients demonstrated outstanding patient care, excellent comprehension and execution of compliance regulations, and strong community engagement.
Fayette County Memorial Hospital’s (FCMH) Senior Life Solutions, an intensive outpatient group therapy program for seniors, successfully made the transition to providing services remotely due to COVID-19 safety precautions, according to officials.
Angie Mellott, Program Director at FCMH Senior Life Solutions, said “Our new teletherapy services allow our patients to continue to reap the benefits of group and individual therapy but from the safety of their homes. During a group session, we all dial in on the phone or log in from a computer at the same time, and each patient has the opportunity to form a bond and sometimes even friendship with other members in the group who are experiencing similar life changes.”
Teletherapy services are provided via telephone or computer by a licensed therapist. After an initial assessment, Senior Life Solutions individualizes a care plan for each patient where they meet up to three times per week in an encouraging, supportive setting. All Senior Life Solutions services are confidential and HIPAA compliant.
