Supporting Seniors Where They Live: Marissa Wells Brings Counseling and Medicare-Covered Care to Conway Assisted Living Communities

Marissa Wells brings Counseling to Conway assisted living communities

As more families in Conway, Arkansas turn to assisted living communities to support their aging loved ones, one name is making a meaningful difference in how seniors experience care: Marissa Wells.


With deep roots in Central Arkansas and a heart for serving aging families, Marissa offers something unique—professional counseling and mental health services brought directly to seniors where they live, with Medicare billing options available for those who qualify.


🧠 Why Mental Health Support Matters in Assisted Living

Life transitions, health changes, and isolation can take a toll on the emotional well-being of older adults. Many residents in assisted living struggle silently with grief, anxiety, depression, memory issues, or the emotional challenges of aging.

That’s where Marissa Wells steps in.


Marissa is a licensed mental health professional who specializes in helping older adults and their families navigate these complex experiences. Through therapeutic counseling, family guidance, and emotional support, she brings compassionate care right into assisted living facilities in Conway, Arkansas

She collaborates with facility staff and families to ensure residents receive the emotional and psychological support they need—without having to leave the comfort of their home.


💵 Can Marissa Bill Medicare for These Services?

Yes! In many cases, Marissa can bill Medicare Part B for covered counseling and mental health services delivered to Conway assisted living communities. Here’s how it works:

  • Medically Necessary Counseling: If a resident is experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, cognitive changes, or emotional distress, therapy is often covered under Medicare.

  • Physician Referral Not Always Required: Residents do not have to be “homebound” or hospitalized. If Medicare eligibility and clinical necessity are established, therapy can be billed under Part B as an outpatient service—even in an assisted living setting.

  • Minimal Cost to Residents: Medicare typically covers 80% of the cost after deductible, and secondary insurance often covers the rest.

Marissa ensures all documentation, treatment plans, and coordination with primary care providers are handled appropriately so that residents and families have peace of mind.


👥 How Marissa Supports Families, Too

In addition to working directly with seniors, Marissa supports adult children and caregivers. Through family counseling, grief support, and education on aging dynamics, she helps families:

  • Understand emotional and behavioral changes

  • Improve communication with aging loved ones

  • Navigate transitions, such as end-of-life care or increased care needs

  • Avoid caregiver burnout

Her sessions can be held in person at her office or on-site at the assisted living community.
