Thanet Community Mental Health Service for Older People, KMPT

We care for people over 65 years old with a functional mental health difficulty or with dementia including young onset (aged under 65) in the community. We also provide support and advice to professionals, care homes and carers.

Patients receive an initial assessment after which a plan will be made in collaboration with the patient as to what the next steps might be. This may involve further appointments with health care professionals, invitations to the groups we offer, therapy and neuropsychological assessments.

Our team comprises of consultant psychiatrists, community psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists, psychologists, support workers, an Admiral nurse and administrative staff.
