•

Aging sometimes presents challenges that older adults find difficult to overcome. The loss of lifetime companions, decreased physical and mental capabilities and the resulting loss of independence can be overwhelming. When these losses lead to confusion, depression or other behavioral problems, additional help may be needed.
   

New Day Senior Health of Dale Medical Center, a 13 bed unit for adults 55 years of age or older,  is available to provide the needed care and treatment. With effective therapy, medications, and coping skills, independence can be maintained or improved to provide a more satisfying lifestyle.
