Vintage, Inc.
Vintage, an East Liberty-based senior center, works to promote the social and physical well-being of older adults by helping them stay active and independent, pursue their interests, and make new friends. Aside from activities available in the center, Vintage offers Better Choices, Better Health, which helps older adults deal with conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. With yoga, taichi, day trips, line dancing and so many other activities accessible to all, this isn’t your grandparents’ senior center.

Outpatient Mental Health - Clinic
If you live with a mental health condition, you’re not alone. One in five Americans will experience some mental health issue in their life. And there’s no age limit: Children, adults and older adults can all find their lives changed by this common problem.
While mental health issues can rob you of your hope, it’s important to know that with treatment, life can be bearable again.
Options Care Management
Note: Options Care Management serves clients referred by Allegheny County’s Area Agency on Aging. To enroll, you must first contact the county’s Seniorline. Familylinks does not accept direct requests to join the Options program.
Mobile Mental Health Treatment
If you’re an older adult dealing with mental health issues, you might also have trouble getting to a therapist or counselor, because of transportation issues or because your health limits your mobility. That’s where Mobile Mental Health Treatment (MMHT) helps.
Your MMHT therapist travels to your home to work with you when you’re unable to leave the house. For clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, hoarding or other disorders that make it difficult to go out and seek treatment, MMHT helps by making therapy accessible.
Family Treatment Centers
We operate two Family Treatment Centers, which provide long-term (up to six months) residential treatment for women age 18 or older who are committed to working on their recovery from addiction. We help women develop recovery skills, improve their well-being, enhance their parenting skills, and preserve or repair family relationships.
