What is Mental Health for Aged Care Residents?
We offer a variety of services to residents, their families, and carers, including:
- Clinical Mental Health Services for residents with experienced Psychologists, Social Workers, or Mental Health Nurses offering visits to the facility.
- I Hear You (Group Counselling) for residents, their families, or carers that have newly transitioned to an Aged Care Facility
- I See You (Digital Story Services) provided by volunteers who visit residents over a few months to develop a video about their life. This is based on the understanding that the telling of one’s story is a means to reaffirm identity, uniqueness, and lived experiences.
Mental Health Services can help with the emotional transition into a facility, as well as with feelings of sadness, worry, and distress.
