Les missions consultatives d’une unité mobile de psychogériatrie

Helping elderly people over the age of 70 suffering from mental health problems to remain at home is one of the missions of the mobile psychogeriatric unit of Simone-Veil Hospital in Eaubonne. In a nursing home, then at home, the aim is to avoid certain hospitalisations. Institutions accept more readily residents with a history of psychiatric problems and the prescriptions. Furthermore, requests for intervention are better targeted by general practitioners for the benefit of the elderly patients.
