Abstract

The deinstitutionalization movement in the United States has traditionally neglected the rehabilitation potential of the seriously mentally ill elderly. With the proliferation of the elderly population, unique programs and community-based settings must be created and expanded to meet the mental health needs of this population in a cost-effective and humane manner. The mental health continuum presented is a model composed of programs that target the seriously mentally ill elderly in a variety of community placements including residential treatment facilities, nursing homes, retirement homes, and permanent housing.

摘要

美国的非机构化运动传统上忽视了患有严重精神疾病的老年人的康复潜力。随着老年人口的增加，必须创建并扩大独特的项目和基于社区的环境，以经济高效且人道的方式满足这一人群的心理健康需求。所呈现的心理健康连续体是一个由针对患有严重精神疾病的老年人的项目组成的模型，这些项目设置在各种社区场所，包括住院治疗设施、疗养院、养老院和永久性住房。
