Stress and anxiety are part of life. But what about when it interferes with a person’s ability to just get through the day, and what about when that person is a senior in an assisted living home?

In an already stressed life, these new changes can cause further agitation that leads to adverse health conditions. How are you addressing these needs in your seniors?
