Psychological Services for Seniors: Antara Care Homes
In the journey of ageing, mental and emotional well-being plays a crucial role in determining the quality of life. At Antara, we recognise that seniors require specialised psychological support tailored to their unique needs. This is why we’re highlighting our innovative mental and emotional well-being services at Antara Care Homes – a program designed to nurture the psychological health of elderly residents through evidence-based interventions and compassionate care.
Understanding the Need for Psychological Services for Seniors
As we age, we face unique psychological challenges – from adjusting to new living environments to coping with cognitive changes. Research indicates that nearly 20% of adults aged 60 and older suffer from mental or neurological disorders, yet these conditions often go undiagnosed and untreated.
Lissun’s Integrated Approach to Elderly Mental Health
has developed a comprehensive framework for providing specialised psychological care tailored to the cognitive, emotional, and behavioural needs of seniors. Their services span across three key areas at Antara Care Homes:
Memory Care: Specialised Dementia Care Therapy
For residents experiencing Alzheimer’s and related conditions, Lissun offers dedicated dementia care therapy that addresses both cognitive function and emotional well-being.
Their approach includes:
- Comprehensive cognitive assessments using validated tools like Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination (ACE), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), and the culturally-adapted Everyday Abilities Scale for India (EASI)
- Personalised therapeutic interventions focusing on cognitive stimulation and behavioural management
- Evidence-based approaches, including Reality Orientation Therapy, Validation Therapy, and Reminiscence Therapy
Assisted Care: Supporting Independence Through Mental Wellness
For residents in Assisted Living who experience mild cognitive impairment or emotional challenges, Lissun provides:
- Psychological support for managing depression, anxiety, and adjustment difficulties
- Therapeutic sessions focused on coping strategies and emotional resilience
- Structured interventions for grief, loss of autonomy, and lifestyle transitions
Transition Care: Emotional Support for the Elderly in Recovery
The period following hospitalisation or medical treatment can be particularly challenging for seniors. Lissun’s transition care services include:
- Psychological support for residents adjusting to new care environments
- Emotional well-being sessions addressing stress and anxiety
- Structured interventions to help regain confidence and independence
The Lissun Difference: Expert-Led Mental Health Care for Seniors
What sets Lissun’s approach apart is their commitment to professional excellence and personalised care:
Dual Expert Team
All therapy sessions are conducted by a specialised team consisting of:
- An RCI-registered Clinical Psychologist who serves as the primary therapy lead
- A dementia-trained Counsellor who supports emotional therapy and group sessions
These external specialists work closely with Antara’s clinical and nursing teams, ensuring truly integrated care that addresses physical and mental health needs.
Consistent Therapeutic Engagement
Unlike occasional mental health check-ins, Lissun provides:
- Daily sessions (6 days a week) for all residents
- 30-45 minute sessions designed for optimal engagement without causing fatigue
- Both individual therapy and group interventions based on residents’ needs
