“Autumn Bridge” Geriatric Program Offers New Focus

Effective immediately, our Geriatric program has been changed to an older adult program called Autumn Bridge. We have found it necessary to change the focus of our programming due to problems we were encountering with some consumers who were suffering from Alzheimer's or other dementias. In order to make the program more accessible to other consumers who may not view themselves as geriatric, we have decided on the new name and a change in focus. In this way we can provide quality care and a safe environment. This program is for older adults who would benefit from psychotherapy in addition to psychosocial groups.

The Autumn Bridge Program serves adult consumers 50 years of age or older who are diagnosed with a mental illness and/or mental retardation. This program offers group psychotherapy and psychosocial groups and services are designed to maintain and improve consumers’ quality of life.
