River Glen Senior Living announces partnership with Clarity Mental Health
River Glen of St. Charles, a senior living community managed by Jaybird Senior Living, is excited to announce a new partnership with Clarity Mental Health to prioritize mental wellness in senior living. This collaboration offers specialized care to ensure the mental health needs of River Glen residents are taken care of.
“At River Glen, we’re dedicated to taking care of our residents in every way possible,” says Jena Villareal, health care coordinator. “We want to keep them healthy and happy, and that means looking after their mental well-being too. Our aim is to provide the support they need right here at River Glen and avoid unnecessary hospital visits.”
CLARITY, provided by In Home Medical Group (IHMG), brings a team of experienced nurse practitioners and a board-certified psychiatrist to focus specifically on the mental health needs of seniors. The specialists will offer personalized care to address each resident’s unique situation.
Anna August NP-C, one of the nurse practitioners from CLARITY, will be at River Glen weekly on Wednesdays moving forward. With her expertise in handling dementia-related issues and managing medications, Anna works closely with River Glen nursing staff to make sure each resident gets the attention they deserve.
But this partnership is not just about access to medication. CLARITY also offers counseling services led by Aldolfo Oropeza, LCSW. These one-on-one sessions provide a safe space for residents to talk about whatever is on their mind, whether it’s grief, anxiety, or simply adjusting to life changes.
“Our partnership with Clarity Mental Health shows how much we care about our residents,” says Jena Villareal. “We want them to feel supported and empowered to prioritize their mental wellness. With these specialized services right here at River Glen, our residents can live their lives to the fullest.”
