World Mental Health Day is observed on Oct. 10 and encourages conversations about mental health, access to care, and support for people of every age.

Older adulthood can bring grief, caregiving changes, new health concerns, reduced independence, and changes in daily routines. These experiences can affect mood, sleep, energy, and connection with others.

Checking in with an older loved one can begin with a caring question: “How have you been feeling lately?” Listening with patience can help someone feel supported and may open the door to additional care when needed.

Coleman County Medical Center’s Senior Life Solutions provides outpatient mental health services for older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, and other emotional or behavioral health concerns. Services include group therapy, individual therapy, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management.

Big changes are coming to Medicare Advantage in 2027. According to Newsweek, several of the largest insurers are shrinking their networks next year:

➡️ UnitedHealthcare is cutting back its PPO plans in some areas.
➡️ Aetna is leaving two states and moving more members into HMO plans with smaller networks.
➡️ Humana will offer plans in fewer counties, falling from 85% to 80% of U.S. counties.

Rural communities often feel these changes the most. When a network shrinks, local doctors and hospitals can drop out of it. That can leave members driving an hour or more to find a provider their plan will cover, or switching doctors they've seen for years.

Traditional Medicare paired with a Medigap supplement plan works differently. You can see any doctor or hospital in the country that accepts Medicare, with no network to worry about, and you'll rarely need prior approval for care.

Open enrollment runs October 15 through December 7. If your plan is changing, now is the time to review your options.

If you have any questions please give us a call and we will be glad to help!

Coleman County Medical Center and Coleman County Medical Center District Foundation lost a generous supporter this past week. Michael Lagow was the hospital’s first Candy Striper and son of Ruth Lagow who served as a hospital nurse and one-time nursing director. He and his partner, Brian Cates, designed and helped to install the stained-glass window exhibit at the east end of the museum gallery connecting the new hospital to the 1967 building. Thank you, Michael, for helping us to bring “History back to Light.”

In the video Michael reflects on his time as a Candy Striper.

Coleman County Medical Center lost a dear member our family Wednesday. Bill Mann served the hospital and community for 47 years with great skill, heart-felt compassion and an infectious sense of humor. This video, recorded in 2019, shares Bill’s love for the hospital originally inspired by his father, Dr. Morris Mann, and the cooks at CCMC. Bill made us all feel better, and we will miss him deeply.

Connection supports emotional well-being throughout life. Social support may help protect against su***de by reducing isolation and strengthening a person’s sense of belonging, value and resilience during difficult times.

Changes in health, mobility, hearing, vision, relationships and daily routines can make it harder for some older adults to maintain regular social contact. Consistent, thoughtful outreach can help them remain involved in family and community life.

Consider one way to connect this week:

• Call an older relative, friend or neighbor. • Share a meal or cup of coffee. • Offer transportation to an appointment or activity. • Extend an invitation to a community event. • Help someone find a senior center, volunteer opportunity, faith community or support group.

This Su***de Prevention & Awareness Month, choose one person and make a plan to stay connected.

If you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or suicidal thoughts, call or text 988 for free, confidential support available 24/7.

Coleman County Medical Center’s Senior Life Solutions provides support for older adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. If someone you know is struggling, reaching out can make a difference. Call 325-625-5827 or visit Senior Life Solutions | Senior Mental Health Program – CCMC to learn more.
