The Older Adult Mental Health Team is an interdisciplinary team providing community-based mental health services at no cost.
Our services help improve the quality of life of older adults (and their caregivers), who are vulnerable due to a combination of psychiatric, medical
and social factors.
We offer psychiatric assessment and treatment for older adults who may require outreach services.
