INPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH
The Inpatient Psychiatry Program provides comprehensive assessment, diagnosis
and management of mental health issues.
Interventions and stabilization include individual therapy, group therapy, limited
electroconvulsive therapy, if appropriate to the condition, and medication
management. Patients and families are engaged in setting treatment goals to
promote their recovery.
Those eligible for referral include:
• Clients with a diagnosis of mental illness or mental health issue
• Clients must be 65 years or older
20
A single entry point provides access to geriatric mental health beds at Baycrest, CAMH
and the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute. A referral from a physician or nurse practitioner
is required. Referral forms are available on the Inpatient Psychiatry Program page of the
Baycrest website (baycrest.org). Completed forms must be faxed to the CCAC's Centralized
Intake and Referral Office at 416-506-0439.
