Anderson County Hospital has announced the addition of a new service beginning Friday to the citizens of Anderson County and the surrounding area. Anderson County Hospital’s senior life solutions, an intensive outpatient group therapy program, is designed to meet the unique needs of older adults who are struggling with symptoms of depression and anxiety. Aging brings many joys-more time with family and freedom in retirement-but older years can also bring difficult life transitions including the loss of loved ones and stresses of age related health concerns.
Older adult experiencing issues such as the loss of a spouse, changes in appetite, difficulty sleeping, loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness and other triggers can experience anxiety and depression. Hospital Administrator Rich McKain, says they are excited to bring this service to the community and the need to assist seniors with signs of depression will improve their quality of life.
