As we age, mental health becomes increasingly important, especially since older adults may find themselves alone or in new living arrangements. Increased isolation brought on by COVID-19 and stay-at-home orders have further impacted conditions that may affect elderly mental health.
We all have moments of:
Depression
Anxiety
Grief and loss of a loved one
Personal Crisis
Lonliness
Extreme Sadness
Let us help.
Senior Outreach is an extension of our Carewatch program intended to help better serve seniors with more intensive needs. Senior Outreach is a collaborative program between Senior Services of Van Buren County and Van Buren Community Mental Health Services. Counseling services are provided by a licensed clinician. These services are provided in the client's home to remove the transportation barrier. All referrals for this program can be made to the Carewatch Department by calling 269-637-3607.
We provide services to help make sure seniors can live comfortably and safely in any place they call home—whether that’s their own home or apartment, an assisted living facility or with family caregivers. Our services are not income-based.
We provide a variety of activities including Fitness, Crafts, Card games, live music and much more! Check out our Newsletter or Calendars for our monthly activities. You are sure to meet new friends and find something you enjoy.
You can help improve lives. Make volunteering your second act! Whatever your background, we’ll try to match you with a volunteer opportunity that matches your interests, skills, and availability.
We can arrange to bring meals to seniors at home. Our Dining Programs are held at the centers and provide a low-cost, nutritious meal and a chance to connect, have fun, and socialize.
