World Senior Citizens Day to be observed August 21

World Senior Citizens Day is August 21 and a time to honor the older adults who strengthen families, workplaces, and communities through their experiences, wisdom, and contributions. 

Often times, senior citizens are lonely, depressed and in need of mental health support. Veterans Memorial Hospital’s (VMH) Senior Life Solutions (SLS) provides outpatient mental health services for older adults, including group therapy, individual therapy, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management.

This World Senior Citizens Day, celebrate older adults and encourage continued care for the mind, body, and spirit.

Anyone can make a referral to the Senior Life Solutions program including primary care providers, specialists, family members, friends, community groups, nursing or residential facilities and anyone can also self-refer themselves.
