Improving Geriatric Mental Healthcare

Mental health has become a hot topic in today's society. There are many resources for young children and adults regarding mental health, however, older adults are often overlooked and underprioritized in that category. This evidence-based practice study was created to find ways to improve geriatric mental health care, both at home and in facilities, by increasing mental health screening efficiency and minimizing misdiagnoses in this field. Through this study, individualized elderly institutions will bring awareness, become further accessible, and be more efficient for the health and well-being of the geriatric community. ​
