The Senior Outreach Program of Park Ridge Mental Health: An Innovative Approach to Mental Health and Aging

Journal of Gerontological Social Work

Author: Russell, R.
Year: 1998
Type: Journal Article

Abstract:

Availability and accessibility of mental health servuices for the elderly is woefully inadequate, failing to recognise the diversity of needs in the older adult population. Stigma, confusing & exclusionary insurance regulations, & restrictive mental health center policies have limited & discouraged treatment interventions. Through innovative case finding, programming, & funding arrangements, the Senior Outreach Program of Park Ridge Mental Health in Rochester, NY, has proven effective in identifying & providing outreach mental health services to elderly individuals. The program utilizes a human services agency model, yet operates in a large health care system as part of a continuum of psychogeriatric services.
