    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Psychiatry
    • Mental Health Services Research

    Background:

    • The elderly population is growing rapidly.
    • Older adults experience a high incidence of treatable psychiatric conditions.
    • This demographic is often underserved by psychiatric services.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the experiences of a community mental health center in treating elderly patients.
    • To analyze the need for psychiatric hospitalization among community-dwelling older adults.
    • To identify emerging trends in the psychiatric care of the elderly.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of patient data from Douglas Gardens Community Mental Health Center.
    • Analysis of psychiatric hospitalization rates for elderly patients in 1982.
    • Comparison of patient data with a typical inpatient facility.

    Main Results:

    • Over 12% of elderly patients reviewed required psychiatric hospitalization in private facilities in 1982.
    • Data on patient characteristics and comparative inpatient data are presented.
    • A trend indicates a move of elderly psychiatric treatment away from the public sector.

    Conclusions:

    • The public sector appears to be reducing its role in treating the elderly.
    • This shift presents a developing opportunity for the private sector in geriatric mental health care.
    • Community mental health centers play a crucial role in serving the psychiatric needs of older adults.
