“…Homebound older adults are more likely to follow up on referrals to PCPs than specialists such as psychiatrists when it comes to treatment for mental health. This suggests that PCPs need to be more educated on depression in homebound older adults (Habib, Sanchez, Pervez, & Devanand, 1998).…”

“…Home health nurses and case managers need to be trained on recognizing and treating depression in homebound older adults. PCPs need to be trained on management of depression in older adults as they may be the first line of treatment (Choi, et al, 2012c;Choi & McDougall, 2007;Habib et al, 1998). Also, organizations need to be trained on this updated model of care for depressed homebound older adults so that implementation is as successful as possible.…”

The convergence of a number of disparate factors has led to opportunities to help address the mental health needs of older adults in primary care (PC) or “integrated care” settings. Older adults are disproportionately high users of health care resources, and cost projections for coming decades have catastrophic implications. Elders shun mental health services, instead turning to their personal physicians when troubled. The PC system is clogged with patients without medical problems or whose medical conditions are exacerbated by psychosocial factors (estimated at 60% to 70%), resulting in overutilization of services and high costs. However, PC physicians detect and adequately treat or refer only 40% to 50% of patients with mental health problems. Early experience with brief and/or structured interventions in PC settings is promising and suggests opportunities for multidisciplinary team geriatric practice.
