Homes For The Elderly

We have evaluated the effects of providing a ‘roving’ psychiatric clinic to local authority residential homes for the elderly. The clinic was well received by the staff in the homes, reduced the need for urgent domiciliary consultations and hospital admission and appeared to be highly cost-effective.

Study Participants

Of 390 residents in 12 local-authority homes for the elderly, 93 had evidence of depression on screening and underwent standard clinical assessment. Half had an affective disorder, and a further third had depressive symptoms in the setting of an organic mental disorder. The 93 residents had a high rate of physical illness and disability, undertook little social activity, and were visited infrequently. A range of interventions for depressed residents, the majority social in type, mostly proved difficult to implement. There was no evidence of efficacy of psychiatric intervention at three months; at one-year follow-up a quarter of study participants had died, and 28% of those who were reassessed for depression showed evidence of recovery.
