A solution for elderly dissabled with psychiatric problems, that don't work out in a regular nursing home?

Question

Are there any kind of long term mental health facilities for the dissabled elderly who need both nursing and psychiatric care?

Answer 1

I have known of a nursing home that had alarms and were gated which dealt with people who also had psychiatric problems. I believe it is closed now. It would be worth talking with County Mental Health, also a social worker in a hospital may know of such resources in your area. If you have a senior outreach program in your area, they may also know if such a service exists.
