The Older people’s mental health service (OPMHS) is a specialist service in the boroughs of Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, and Hounslow. It incorporates specialist older adults mental health services (SOAMHS), cognitive impairment and dementia services (CIDS), and inpatient services.
The specialist older adult mental health service (SOAMHS) is a team of experienced and specially trained professionals who help individuals over the age of 70 who have mental health needs requiring specialist intervention beyond that which can be offered in primary care.
The cognitive impairment and dementia services (CIDS) is a team of experienced and specially trained professionals who help people who have dementia or who are worried they may have dementia.
Our inpatient wards provide a safe, comfortable environment for treatment where someone needs more care and supervision than can be provided at home, whether for a short period or more long term.
Our wards support patients over the age of 70 who have mental health needs requiring specialist intervention, or people who have dementia.
The Care Home In-Reach and Liaison Service (CHILS) aims to support residents with behaviours that challenge within care home settings. It is an extension to the existing Cognitive Impairment and Dementia Services (CIDS) and Specialist Older Adults Mental Health Services (SOAMHS).
