MENTAL
HEALTH FOR OLDER ADULTS
Cambridge
Health Alliance offers mental health and counseling services for
adults aged 60 and over through our Harvard-affiliated Department
of Psychiatry. These services can help older adults deal with common
issues such as depression, and changes in behavior or mental status.
Our offices
are based at the Central Street Health Center in Somerville, but
we also offer a home visiting program. Depending on your needs,
the service may include one-on-one counseling, family therapy, or
group treatment.

INPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH
FOR SENIORS
Services are available
for elderly patients with acute behavior or cognitive health issues
and those with a primary psychiatric diagnosis who have additional
medical needs. Typical admissions come from patients already in
the hospital, those in nursing homes, and elders in the community
who have had a significant change in mental status.
Please call 617-665-1372
for more information.
