    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Psychiatry
    • Community Mental Health Services

    Background:

    • Providing psychogeriatric services to a large urban community presents unique challenges.
    • Integrating care across diverse settings (home, nursing homes, aged care facilities) is complex.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the first year of experience in delivering psychogeriatric services in an urban community.
    • To assess the utilization patterns and effectiveness of these services.

    Main Methods:

    • A review of the first year of psychogeriatric service provision.
    • Services were delivered across various patient settings: homes, nursing homes, and Homes for the Aged.

    Main Results:

    • Consultant help was predominantly sought for patient "disposal" rather than proactive treatment.
    • Continuity of service across different settings facilitated more appropriate patient placement.
    • The value of integrated psychogeriatric care was demonstrated.

    Conclusions:

    • Psychogeriatric services are beneficial for patient placement and continuity of care.
    • Increased acceptance of psychogeriatric support is anticipated.
    • There is a clear need for improved day-care and day-hospital facilities to optimize care.
