Abstract

Telehealth and telemedicine services have emerged as promising solutions to address the mental health needs of older adults residing in care facilities. This abstract presents an investigation into the utilization of telehealth and telemedicine interventions to deliver mental health support, counseling, and therapy to older adults in care facilities. The study explores the potential of virtual therapy sessions, online support groups, and telepsychiatry services as effective tools to bridge the gap in mental healthcare for this vulnerable population.

 

The investigation begins by examining the unique mental health challenges faced by older adults in care facilities, including loneliness, depression, anxiety, and limited access to specialized care. It highlights the limitations of traditional in-person care models and the potential benefits of incorporating telehealth and telemedicine interventions in the context of mental health support.
