Senior Mental Health Services at a Glance

Chelsea Senior Living is committed to providing the highest quality care services to all residents. We’re proud to offer seniors an integrated mental health program at our East Brunswick, NJ location. We understand that aging often comes with a variety of stressors, all of which can have a significant impact on our emotional and behavioral health.

From medical complications and reduced mobility to the loss of loved ones, seniors may find themselves struggling to cope with the realities of old age, trauma, mental health conditions, or mental illnesses/mental health disorders.

At Chelsea Senior Living, we recognize that adult mental health care is basic health care and understand how difficult managing and navigating life can be. As a result, our mental health services administration takes senior mental health very seriously and provides supportive housing and long-term mental health assisted living options to ensure our residents are thriving.
