Tameside Community Mental Health Team - Older People
Our service is offered to people over 65 with moderate or severe and/or enduring mental health needs. We provide you with a specialist mental health assessment, treatment plans and interventions. We can also provide support if you're under 65 and have a confirmed dementia diagnosis. We regularly review and update the treatment plans with you until you’re ready to be discharged.
Our team is made up of mental health nurses, support workers, an occupational therapist, clinical psychologists, administrators, and a team manager. Our operational hours are Monday-Friday from 9am to 5pm.
We work closely with the Tameside home intervention team - older people :: Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust and the older age Consultant Psychiatrists, who are based at Tameside General Hospital.
We don’t commission social care packages for you or the carers who support you, but we can make referrals to any services relevant to your care.
Referrals are made via the single point of entry, who screen all referrals and direct them to the most appropriate service for your needs.
