Marriage and Couples Mental Health in Placerville

Placerville is a small town with a relatively homogenous population. Most residents are white, speak English as their first language, and have graduated from high school. A large number of the city's residents are married couples with children. In fact, nearly 30 percent of the city's population is children under the age of 18 who live at home. However, nearly one-fifth of citizens are seniors over the age of 65.² As a result of this age disparity, there are many families who have both young children and elderly family members relying on middle generations for support and care, which can cause immense stress and pressure on married couples

The El Dorado County Department of Senior Services offers a number of programs to support families who have elderly family members. The county operates an Alzheimer's Day Care Center where those with dementia have a safe and caring environment to stay during the day. The center also has a vast library of resources for caregivers. Monthly caregiver meetings and workshops provide the latest information on caring for someone with dementia. As part of the Elder ID program, senior citizens are photographed and their identifying information is kept on file in the event they wander off and become lost. All services at the center are offered free of charge. For more information, call 530-621-6150.³
