Seniors Outreach Teams - For Primary & Community Healthcare Providers
Abuse / Neglect, Addictions / Substance Use, Mental Health - Senior, and Seniors Services
Provided by Island Health
Seniors Outreach teams provide support to primary care and community health care providers when a senior needs further assessment and treatment, or to investigate abuse or neglect.
Seniors Outreach Teams work with the Seniors Outpatient Clinics to support primary care providers and community health care providers when a senior needs further assessment and treatment. Teams will liaise and provide navigation support based on the patient's needs, and can advise what services, assessments, and treatments would be beneficial. These can include areas such as mental health and substance abuse, age-related conditions and other concerns. Seniors Outreach Teams do not do hands-on assessments or treatments, but may be responsible for investigations of abuse and neglect.
