Senior Life Solutions
Senior Life Solutions
Your mental health matters, especially as you get older. That’s why Share Medical Center provides Senior Life Solutions, outpatient services designed to meet the unique needs of older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges often associated with aging.
More than 20% of people over the age of 55 experience some type of mental health concern, yet more than half do not receive treatment. Studies show that over 50% of older adults believe it is normal to become depressed as they age. It’s not! Feeling down from time to time is a normal part of life, but if these feelings last weeks or months, you may be dealing with something more serious

What is Senior Life Solutions?
Senior Life Solutions helps older adults who are experiencing mental health challenges develop the coping and communication skills they need to live a healthier and happier life. Our clinical team includes a board-certified psychiatrist, licensed therapists, a registered nurse, and other professionals dedicated to the mental health care of the older adults in our community. We help ensure you receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment to significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Our group therapy sessions are held up to three times a week at Share Medical Center. Participants may have the option to attend these sessions virtually, using a computer, tablet or smartphone connected to the internet. We also set aside time for individual psychotherapy and monitor each on-site participant's vitals.
Although this is a group setting, each person is addressed individually based on their unique needs. We continue to engage and support our participants after they complete the program.
Who Can Benefit from Senior Life Solutions?
Our program is designed to help people typically 65 and older who are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges, including suicidal thoughts and intense grief.
Our Approach
Empowerment through Connection
Loneliness and isolation can take a toll on mental health. Our program promotes a sense of belonging and community. We offer group sessions, peer support, and activities that foster social bonds, helping older adults feel more connected to others and to life itself.
Mindful Wellness
We emphasize the importance of self-care, mindfulness, and stress management. Through mindfulness exercises, relaxation techniques, and cognitive-behavioral strategies, we help older adults reduce anxiety, depression, and age-related stressors.
Personalized Support
Every individual's journey to mental well-being is unique. Our experienced team develops personalized care plans for each program participant. These plans address their specific needs and goals, ensuring that they receive the right support at the right time.
