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.
