In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues.

Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
