Aim. This paper reviews literature that draws on models of mental health care for older adults. Background. It is predicted that as a consequence of the aging of the population the incidence of mental health disorders, common in older populations, will also rise. Many such disorders can be successfully managed if detected early. Assessment and management requires collaboration between health professionals who are skilled and educated in the management of older adults with mental illness and the use of models of care appropriate to this population. Results. The paucity of research in this area is demonstrated. Conclusion. The need for mental health nurses to challenge current models of mental health care for older adults is identified so that they take on an expanded and developed specialist role in care of older adults with mental illness.

“…Adequately staffed and trained multidisciplinary mental health teams, working in collaboration with key partners, have the best evidence for efficacy in working with older people 14 , 16 . These teams should provide care directly, and work to increase the capacity of partners and to better integrate the input of private mental health providers.…”

“…, 2001; Nusselder & Peeters, 2006). Gerontological research within the last decade or so has improved understanding and provided rationales for community service development, including the need for consultation liaison between mental health service providers and long‐term care (LTC) providers (Katon & Gonzales, 1994; Fahy & Lawlor, 2002; Draper et al. , 2006).…”

Aim. This paper describes an effective community nursing role in which mental health care is brought to long-term care in a way that restores and promotes mental health wellbeing in the older person, builds understanding between clinicians, and develops staff confidence in attending to the whole needs of residents of nursing homes. Background. Mental health is a significant issue in the ageing population and there is much that mental health nurses as well as staff in long-term care can do to promote early detection of problems, facilitate effective treatment and build coping in the older person and family so that they recover from grief or depression issues and go on to make this stage of life satisfying and rewarding. Conclusions. The mental health nurse liaison role is a useful contribution to comprehensive aged care in the community. The role provides support to clinicians enabling them to develop skills and expand their area of practice, whilst creating an environment in which the needs of the client may also be better understood and thereby met.
