The Elderly Remain In Need

Of Mental Health Services



Professionals are concerned that the
mental health needs of the elderly are not
adequately understood or addressed by
community mental health centers, nursing
homes, and other providers. Older persons
remain disproportionately underserved in
the community, and mental health treat-
ment in nursing homes is rare.
This study describes mental health services
provided to the elderly just before the
implementation of the mental health and
substance abuse block grant. It is made
available to help the States, grantees, and
other public agencies develop and improve
mental health services for the elderly.
