Mental Health in Aged Care

Support for older people transitioning into or living in residential aged care facilities.

About Mental Health in Aged Care

Mental Health in Aged Care assist people experiencing low levels of anxiety or depression, often identified simply as stress as they move into residential aged care facilities.

Created by people who have experienced the move, the program supports a person’s mental health, physical health and social needs through one-on-one and group support. Family and friends’ support is also available.

We work with people to:

  • Manage stress
  • Build on strengths
  • Increase confidence
  • Stay in touch with family/friends
  • Make new friendships
  • Try new things
