Senior Services
Supporting Islanders later in life is a priority for Mercer Island Youth & Family Services. The Senior Services staff help to manage the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of Mercer Island residents ages 60 years and older and their families.
Senior Services staff focus on individual strengths to help build client’s capacity to address the kinds of challenges that older adults face during this time, whether that is dealing with health care, moving to supportive housing or navigating emotional responses to life as it changes.
Because everyone has their own needs and priorities, services are tailored to each individual or family.
