CliniCall’s Psychologists provide assessments as well as treatments for both your residents and staff.Studies suggest that 80% or more of elderly nursing home residents suffer from some sort of mental disorder.

Only a very small percentage ever receive any care from mental health practitioners.

There is considerable evidence suggesting that psychological interventions with behaviour problems in older people in residential care has substantial cost savings through:

• a tenfold reduction in hospitalisation;
• a threefold reduction in drug side effects;
• a halving of the number of visits by general practitioners;
• a quartering of the number of visits by geriatrics psychiatrists.

CliniCall’s psychologists aim to lessen the burden on facility staff by assisting with the psychological management of residents.

Overall, CliniCall’s psychologists aim to enhance the well-being of both residents and staff.
