Senior care has become highlighted in recent months as the pandemic has affected them the most as the most vulnerable age group. Isolated and locked in, there is a growing concern for their mental and physical health as nursing homes and senior facilities become mini-epicenters for outbreaks.
Summit Community Counseling is able to offer mental health care to seniors and do home visits with our staff of LCSWs (Licensed Clinical Social Workers) and psychologists. Due to the fact that many seniors are on Medicare, we have the ability to offer our services through these practitioners and provide them with the mental care they need.
A wonderful and trusted resource for family caregivers, healthcare workers, and nursing staff, is Caring.com as a leading senior care resource. They have in-depth information and support for those caring for aging parents, spouses, or loved ones.
If you are or will be soon caring for a senior, please visit Caring.com for resources that are both local to Utah and national.
