Older adult mental health

If you need to talk to someone about your mental health, or if you’re concerned about a family member, including if it is urgent, call 111 and select option 2.

You can also call if you are not sure where to turn to get advice and guidance on your mental health. You will be connected directly to a mental health professional in your area and will not need to wait long. The number is free to call from a landline or mobile and is available for all ages.

We provide specialist NHS mental health assessment, treatment and care for older people facing functional mental health difficulties in later life. We also deliver significant components of the West Wales Dementia Wellbeing Pathway. We aim to enable older people in West Wales experiencing adverse mental health to age-well, experience health equality, recover their wellbeing, right to self-determination and independence.

We operate in both community and hospital settings Hywel Dda with extensive multi-professional/ inter-agency collaboration across many services.

Older Adult Community Mental Health Teams (OA-CMHT) are a secondary specialist multi-disciplinary assessment, care and treatment service. They work with older people, their family and carers, whose age related mental health needs, or dementia, due to complexity and risk, cannot be fully addressed by their GP and/or other primary care support services.

The OA-CMHT operates between the hours of 9am - 5pm, Monday - Friday (where necessary people with functional mental health needs are additionally supported out of hours by the crisis and home treatment teams).
