Seniors Service

As we age, life presents new challenges alongside opportunities for reflection and contentment. At Ramsay Clinic Albert Road, we understand that these challenges can sometimes impact mental well-being.

Common Senior Concerns:

  • Health Concerns: Declining physical health, chronic pain, or limited mobility can lead to feelings of isolation and loss of independence.
  • Life Changes: Adjusting to retirement, changes in living arrangements, or bereavement can cause emotional distress.
  • Mental Health Conditions: Depression and anxiety are common in seniors, but often go unrecognised or misdiagnosed. Symptoms like sleep problems or memory difficulties can be mistaken for a natural part of aging.

Treatment Options at Ramsay Clinic Albert Road

Our compassionate team is here to listen and provide specialised support for seniors facing mental health challenges. We offer a stigma-free environment and evidence-based treatments tailored to your needs.

This may include:

  • Inpatient Program: Our seniors only unit offers specialised inpatient care for those requiring a more intensive level of support but who remain independent with mobility and self-managing activities of daily living. Our inpatient program provides evidence-based treatment in a supportive and stigma-free environment.
  • Day Programs: We offer a variety of group therapy programs designed to address the specific needs of seniors. These programs help you develop coping mechanisms, manage symptoms, and connect with others facing similar challenges. Click here to view a list of our day programs.
  • Outpatient Services: Our outpatient service provides access to expert psychiatrists who can assess your situation, develop a personalised treatment plan, and offer ongoing support. This may include short-term or long-term therapy.
  • Outreach Program: This program offers individualised treatment plans delivered in your home or via telehealth, providing convenient support for short-term needs, those waiting for a day program, or requiring longer-term assistance.
