Mental health challenges don’t stop with age—in fact, many older adults experience increased emotional stress due to life transitions, isolation, loss, or physical health conditions. At Anaheim Community Hospital, we understand the unique needs of seniors and provide tailored, compassionate care through our outpatient behavioral health program for adults 18 and older.
We’re proud to be a trusted resource for older adults and their families across Anaheim and Orange County, helping seniors regain stability, confidence, and peace of mind.
The Importance of Mental Health for Older Adults
According to the CDC, an estimated 20% of adults aged 55 and over experience mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, or cognitive changes. Unfortunately, many of these issues go untreated due to stigma, misdiagnosis, or lack of access to appropriate care.
At Anaheim Community Hospital, we believe that mental wellness is essential at every age. Our outpatient programs give seniors the support they need in a safe, structured, and encouraging environment.

- Supportive group therapy with peers

Most importantly, our staff understands the challenges older adults face—from grief and loneliness to adjusting to new health limitations. We offer a respectful, non-judgmental space where every patient is treated with dignity and care.
