What this service does for you

This service brings psychiatric expertise to where older people already live: in retirement and nursing homes or at home. At the request of the family doctor or the home doctor, a team of psychiatrists and neuropsychologists assesses confusion, depression, or behavioral changes – which is relevant, for example, in cases of dementia after several small strokes. The team also advises nursing teams and relatives in difficult situations. Referral is made by the treating doctor or the home doctor, and the costs are usually covered by basic health insurance.
