PDH ANNOUNCES SENIOR LIFE SOLUTIONS PARTNERSHIP

December-07-2020

Plumas District Hospital is pleased to announce a partnership with Senior Life Solutions. Senior Life Solutions will be located on the Plumas District Hospital campus at 1065 Bucks Lake Road in Quincy.

Plumas District Hospital’s Senior Life Solutions is an intensive outpatient group therapy program designed to meet the unique needs of senior adults struggling with symptoms of depression and anxiety, stress from age-related health concerns, or difficult life transitions such as the loss of a loved one. Individuals may benefit from the Senior Life Solutions program if they are experiencing any of the following common indicators or triggers of depression and anxiety:

• Recently experienced a traumatic event
• Lost a spouse or close family member
• Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities
• Changes in appetite
• Difficulty sleeping
• Loss of energy
• Feelings of sadness or grief lasting more than two weeks
• Feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness

Following an individual assessment, patients meet up to three times per week in a supportive, encouraging group setting. The program staff includes a board-certified psychiatrist, licensed social workers, a registered nurse, and other healthcare professionals dedicated to the emotional well-being of the seniors in our community.

“I am excited to be back in my hometown of Quincy to provide this program to our older adult population and bring my knowledge, experience and compassion to our community," said Program Director Ericka Thompson BSN, RN.

Referrals to the program can be made by anyone, including a patient’s physician, family member, the patient themself, or another healthcare professional.
