This article describes the a new multidisciplinary, nurse-led service for older adults with mental health problems, the Home Treatment Team (HTT) which has just begun in the Older Adults Directorate of Central and North West London Mental Health Trust (CNWL). The team aims to provide mental health care and treatment in the home for adults aged over 65, offering an alternative to hospital admission and facilitating early discharge. These functions place the service in the intermediate care category (Department of Health (DH) 2001), an area which is not well documented in the care of older people with mental health needs.
本文介绍了一项新的多学科、由护士主导的针对有心理健康问题的老年人的服务——家庭治疗团队（HTT），该服务刚刚在伦敦市中心和西北部心理健康信托基金（CNWL）的老年人管理部门启动。该团队旨在为65岁以上的成年人提供居家心理健康护理和治疗，提供住院治疗之外的另一种选择，并促进早期出院。这些功能使该服务属于中级护理类别（卫生部（DH），2001年），而这一领域在有心理健康需求的老年人护理方面的文献记载并不充分。
