LIFE CAN CHANGE SLOWLY...
Days start to feel heavier.
The TV stays on longer.
You find yourself doing less of what you used to enjoy.
People you miss are not there the same way anymore.
You keep going, but it feels different.
It does not always feel like something is wrong.
It just feels like this is how life is now.
PEARLS is here for that space.
It is a short-term, one-on-one support program for older adults.
You meet with a trained coach in your home or another comfortable setting.
Together, you work through simple, practical steps to feel lighter, more connected, and more like yourself again.
WHO THIS IS FOR
PEARLS is for people who are still going, still doing what needs to be done, but something feels different.
You might notice:
You do not enjoy things the way you used to
You feel more tired, even when you have not done much
You spend more time alone or in front of the TV
You think about people or parts of life you miss
You feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start
You may not call it depression.
You may not think you need help.
You may just feel like this is how life is now.
It does not have to stay that way.
For family members and caregivers:
You may notice changes before they do.
Less interest in activities
More time alone
Less energy or motivation
If something feels off, you can reach out.
We will help you figure out the next step.
MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT
Horizon Health’s Mental Health Support features the PEARLS program (Program to Encourage Active, Rewarding Lives) educating older adults about what depression is (and is not) and helps them develop the skills they need for self-sufficiency and more active lives. The program takes place in six to eight sessions over the course of four to five months in an older adult’s home or a community-based setting that is more accessible and comfortable for older adults who do not see other mental health programs as a good fit for them. PEARLS also allows for coordination with their current healthcare providers where appropriate.
PEARLS Offers:
- Empowers older adults by teaching them skills necessary to take action and make lasting life changes so they can lead more active and rewarding lives.
- Offers a client-driven team-based approach.
- Allows collaboration with older adults in their homes or other accessible community settings during six to eight PEARLS sessions over the course of four to five months.
- Improves quality of life, as well as reduces depressive symptoms.
- Supports older adults regardless of their backgrounds and experiences.
