Supporting mental health in later life: A holistic approach at Caser Residencial
Promoting wellbeing and independence for older adults
Mental health is vital at every stage of life, but it becomes even more important as we age. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), around 14% of people over 60 live with a mental health condition, impacting their quality of life and independence. At Caser Residencial, they understand these challenges and are committed to providing expert care that supports both mental and emotional wellbeing.Understanding the challenges of ageing
Ageing brings many changes that can affect mental health. Caser Residencial considers these factors to provide the best possible care:
- Loss of independence and mobility: Reduced mobility can impact confidence. Caser’s personalised care plans help residents maintain their autonomy.
- Chronic pain and frailty: Conditions like arthritis can lead to anxiety and depression. Their physiotherapy services help manage pain and improve movement.
- Isolation and loneliness: Staying socially active is essential, so Caser fosters a strong sense of community through group activities and shared spaces.
- Emotional impact of life changes: Retirement, bereavement and financial concerns can be overwhelming, but psychological support services help residents adjust.
- Physical health conditions: Ongoing illnesses affect both mood and mental health, which is why their multidisciplinary team provides holistic care.
- Genetic and biological factors: Age-related brain changes can contribute to mental health issues. Caser specialists provide expert neurocognitive care.
Common mental health concerns in later life
Older adults may experience various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, sleep disorders and neurocognitive disorders. Persistent sadness, loss of interest and low energy can affect quality of life, while excessive worry can make daily life difficult for older people.

Caser Residencial provides therapeutic support and engaging activities, with structured routines and psychological support to create a sense of security. Their care plans include strategies to improve sleep quality, while they have specialised units to provide tailored care for those with dementia and other neurocognitive disorders.
