Problem
Older adults often face barriers to accessing mental health care, including difficulty finding in‑network therapists, limited mobility, and high out‑of‑pocket costs. These obstacles lead to under‑treatment of anxiety, depression, grief, and other age‑related mental health concerns.
Solution
Sailor Health delivers Medicare‑covered, virtual mental health counseling tailored specifically for seniors. Prospective clients complete a brief intake, after which a care navigator matches them with an experienced therapist who specializes in issues common to older adults. Therapy begins within 24 hours and is conducted via secure video or phone sessions, with most patients paying $0 copay under Medicare. The platform also offers supplemental wellness classes, mind‑exercise activities, and ongoing support to help users manage stress, life transitions, and chronic conditions from the comfort of their homes.
Target Audience
Primary customers are Medicare‑eligible adults aged 65 + and their caregivers seeking convenient, affordable mental health support, as well as healthcare providers referring seniors to specialized teletherapy services.
