Culbertson Memorial Hospital issued the following announcement on April 23.
There’s nothing like being surrounded people that just get it—sharing similar stories, providing helpful advice, and actively listening as you express your concerns. Everyone goes through hardship, but it’s how you choose to push through it that matters. And sometimes the healthiest way to handle life’s curve balls is with the support of your peers in a Senior Life Solutions program.
What is Senior Life Solutions?
Think of it as your one-stop shop for all the advice, guidance, and support you may need during a troubling time in your life. Older adults, who find themselves facing life’s many challenges, can rely on this outpatient program designed just for them.
The focus is on older adults dealing with a variety of situations or conditions affecting their lives. People seek out a program in Senior Life Solutions if dealing with any of the following conditions:
Anger
Anxiety, nervousness
Depressed mood
Difficulty Coping with Health/Physical Change

What can I expect from this?
Short answer? Partnership. You can expect a safe gathering space to express any concerns or issues you are facing. Whether a decline of physical ability, loss of a loved one, or anything in-between, the compassionate provider team (and your peers) are ready to help get you through it.
Who would be treating me?
