Psychiatric consultation supports residents, families, and care teams in nursing homes, assisted-living communities, and other long-term care settings.
Consultation for residents and facilities
The CCBH source materials describe work with nursing homes and assisted-living facilities on depression, anxiety, dementia-related behavior, medication management, staff education, behavioral plans, family questions, and regulatory care processes.
The exact arrangement is established with the facility. Consultation does not replace the resident’s primary medical care, emergency services, or facility responsibilities.
