Seniors Outreach is an intake service available to support family physicians and community health care providers when a senior needs further assessment and treatment. The intake liaises and provides navigation support based on what the patient's needs are, and can advise what services, assessments, and treatments would be beneficial in areas such as mental health and substance abuse, age-related conditions and other concerns. Seniors Outreach Teams do not do hands-on assessments or treatments, but may be responsible for investigations of abuse and neglect.
