Senior Care Services
Senior Care Services
Our senior care specialists at WCPA know that aging can bring new challenges. Chronic medical issues, loss of independence, caregiver stress, cognitive changes, and grief are common issues that arise as individuals and families age. Depression, anxiety, or prolonged grief reactions are often overlooked or misdiagnosed in medical settings, leading to further impairments in a person’s emotional, mental, and social well-being.
Therapy
We believe therapy provides a secure space for aging clients to engage, reduce loneliness, and process emotions in a healthy way. Our experienced therapists are available to conduct a thorough assessment and create an individualized treatment plan with clients to achieve goals and improve quality of life. Therapists are available to treat clients in our office or visit on-site at senior care communities in the St. Louis area. We accept Traditional Medicare as payment. Click here for more information.
Presentations and Training
Our therapists recognize the need for quality information, support, and training in the senior care community. Clinicians are available to support and educate caregivers, home care agencies, and senior care communities on a variety of topics related to aging and mental health.

Caregiver Support
Our senior care mental health specialists at WCPA understand the unique challenges that family caregivers experience. We know that caregiving takes enormous physical, emotional, and mental energy, which over time can leave family caregivers feeling depleted. Therapy provides family caregivers with the opportunity to clarify their own needs, identify options, and learn healthy strategies to enhance their quality of life as they care for others.
Consultation
Our Senior Care Consultation services at WCPA are designed to help home care agencies, senior communities, and medical facilities learn about mental health issues, options to address difficult patient behaviors, reinforce healthy communication strategies, and utilize self-care strategies for staff members to continue their important work.
Common reasons organizations seek consultation:
- Increased volume of patients with mental health needs
- High staff turnover
- Increased demands from patients and families
- The need to reinforce appropriate workplace boundaries
- Guidance in complicated cases
Those seeking consultation can expect:
- An initial discussion regarding the need for consulting services
- Identification of a tailored plan for services from our Care Team Training model
- Implementation of staff education
- Ongoing consultation for consistent staff support
We accept Traditional Medicare and are out-of-network providers for other medical insurance plans. We are proud to partner with a premiere care management company, Care Choice Care Management, to ensure our clients’ needs are met beyond the scope of therapy.
