Geriatric Mental Health Teams (GMHT)

A GMHT clinician is a health professional (Geriatric Psychiatrist, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Registered Nurse, Psychiatric Nurses, Occupational Therapists and Social Workers) who does comprehensive mental health assessments of older adults in the community.
GMHT clinicians also take referrals from personal care homes across the WRHA
GMHT assess memory, mood, mental health issues and emotional and behavioral complications of brain disease on a non-emergent basis
In addition to assessment, our service provides recommendations, short term intervention, consultation to care providers, education and support, and connection with resources.
Referrals can be made for people age 65 and older with first onset of mental illness or lifelong mental illness requiring specialized geriatric services
