And yet, the signs are clear it's a setting where they are much needed:With adults 65+ projected to reach 20% of the U.S. population by 2030, demand for clinical psychology and geropsychology in skilled nursing is rapidly increasing. Older nursing home residents have high rates of mental health and cognitive needs, creating a critical need for specialized psychological care in the setting.At Executive Mental Health (EMH), we focus specifically on this critical and growing need for quality mental healthcare in the skilled nursing facility setting.
