Home Treatment Team

Older Adult Home Treatment Team logoThe new countywide Older Adult Home Treatment Team started operating from October 2018.

The team operates 7 days per week within our continuous community and inpatient care pathway. The team provides an alternative to hospital for older adults who have severe and sudden mental health needs.

The team will supplement the existing input from the community team in order to provide short term intense help and support. The team will also support more timely and appropriate discharge from hospital back to the community.
