Information for Older Adults and Care Partners

Aging has its ups and downs. For some people, the senior years are the best of their lives. For others, the changes in getting older might be stressful. Health problems,  losing loved ones or independence can be difficult and painful. These may lead to feelings of hopelessness. In some cases, having many stresses at once can lead to thoughts of suicide.
