Assisted Living Partnership
Our Mission
At LifeBack Counseling Center, we specialize in providing on-site emotional and spiritual support for residents navigating grief, loss, and major life transitions within assisted living, independent living, and senior community environments.
Our mission is to come alongside both residents and facility staff to enhance whole-person care, reduce emotional isolation, and strengthen community culture through structured, relationship-centered support.
What We Provide
Our partnership offers a consistent, professionally facilitated grief support program designed to:
-
Normalize grief experiences
-
Create peer connection and reduce isolation
-
Provide emotional coping strategies
-
Encourage meaning-making and hope
-
Offer compassionate presence in a safe group setting
​
Programs are conducted on-site, require no additional staffing from the facility, and integrate seamlessly into existing community life.
Program Overview
A standard partnership includes:
-
4 support group sessions per month
-
1 hour per session
-
On-site at your facility
-
Led by a LifeBack Mental Health Coach

Who Facilitates the Groups
LifeBack facilitators are trained in grief, trauma, and senior support.
One of our primary facilitators, Jeff Lander, brings more than 30 years as a firefighter, specialized credentialing through Light University as a Military and First Responder Mental Health Coach, and focused training in older adult and elderly support Jeff’s trauma-informed, faith-based approach is deeply rooted in compassion, steadiness, and respect — qualities that create emotional safety for residents processing loss and transition.
Our Heart Behind the Work
Aging is a sacred season, and loss is a universal human experience. We believe no one should navigate grief alone — especially in their later years. Our calling is to create a safe place for residents to grieve honestly, connect meaningfully, and move forward with dignity, belonging, and hope.
