Are you caring for a senior who is less able to care for him or herself? YOU ARE NOT ALONE! As our brains and bodies age, medical problems, memory impairment, personality or behavioral changes and possible confusion can occur. In addition, financial worries and the loss of loved ones and support systems can cause tremendous distress and anxiety. Fortunately, there is a service available in our community where you can find the help, support and answers that you need. Blount Memorial Hospital's Elder Assessment service - EASE- is dedicated to geriatric mental and emotional health. Our team of clinicians includes physicians, nurse practitioners, social workers, and registered nurses. We provide psychiatric evaluation, treatment, support, education and referral services. EASE provides care for individuals age 55 and older and their families or caregivers. EASE is the gateway to the continuum of senior services available at Blount Memorial Hospital. For more information or to schedule and assessment, call EASE at 981-2315.
