Trinity Center

The Trinity Center is an intensive outpatient mental health program for senior adults — a safe, warm place to find support, healing, and a path forward

The Trinity Center at Hardeman County Memorial Hospital is an intensive outpatient mental health program designed for senior adults. Our program gives older adults the opportunity to explore, address, and find healthy alternatives for coping with the stressors that life can bring — grief, loss, depression, anxiety, and the changes that come with aging.

Our philosophy is simple: we help individuals identify the emotional barriers standing between them and a healthier, more positive life — and we walk alongside them as they make those changes. The journey to emotional well-being does not need to be made alone. The Trinity Center provides the safe, warm, compassionate, and therapeutic environment needed for real change to take root.

Please note: If you or a loved one is experiencing any of these symptoms, consult with your physician. Only a physician can determine if services at the Trinity Center are appropriate.

Why Mental Health Care Matters for Seniors

Older adults are often the last to ask for help — but the need is very real:

  • An estimated 18% to 25% of seniors need mental healthcare for conditions like depression and anxiety, yet few receive the proper care and treatment. (MHASP, 1999)
  • Between 40% and 65% of patients with coronary heart disease who have experienced a heart attack also experience depression. (NMHA, 1998)
  • As many as 70% of patients with complications from diabetes are affected by depression. (NMHA, 1998)
  • Late-life depression affects approximately 6 million adults, but only about 10% ever receive optimal treatment. (NMHA, 1998)

What’s Included

To make participation as comfortable and accessible as possible, the Trinity Center provides:

  • Complimentary lunch and snacks on program days
  • Transportation assistance (can be arranged in advance)

Payment & Insurance

Services at the Trinity Center are typically covered by Medicare and most commercial insurance plans. Our team can help verify your benefits and answer any coverage questions before your first visit.

How to Make a Referral
