SENIOR PROGRAM Later in life, many people experience changes — death of loved ones, retirement, stressful life events, or medical problems. It’s normal to feel uneasy, stressed, or sad about these changes. But after adjusting, many older adults feel well again. Depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions are different.

They are medical conditions that interfere with daily life and normal functioning.

These are not a normal part of aging.

Many older adults with mental health or substance use disorders need treatment to feel better. The Senior Care Program at Alvarado Parkway Institute’s Outpatient Services provides structured, evidence-based treatment in a caring and compassionate environment for older adults struggling with mental health challenges including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, chronic pain, suicidal ideation, disorientation/disorganization, behavioral issues, and chemical dependency.

AT-A-GLANCE

PROGRAM STRUCTURE Senior clients may attend three to four days a week, Monday through Friday from 12-3pm. Free nutritious lunch is provided to all program participants and transportation is provided at no additional cost for most clients residing within San Diego County. You will also participate in a community meeting and engage in 2-3 group therapy sessions.

The afternoon process groups, led by a licensed behavioral health professional, offer clients the opportunity to share and connect with one another on a variety of topics beneficial to the distinct needs of older adults.

At times, clients will engage in intergenerational group activities with younger clients which can contribute to positive relationships and emotional well-being.
