These services may be developed for people over the age of 65, but they focus on the individual needs of a person. So this means that younger people with illnesses that usually affect older people, like dementia, are also offered specialist support.
Again, we work in partnership with others. Our older people community mental health teams work with specialist agencies and voluntary organisations. This helps us provide tailored care and treatment. Services include home treatment/support and stay; intensive home support; psychiatric liaison shared care; memory clinics; primary care education and drugs for dementia clinics satellite clubs.
Patients can also spend time with us in one of our hospitals for assessment and admission or continuing care and respite.
