Abstract
This paper describes a unique funding and working relationship between an area agency on aging and a community mental health center. This program is part of a core agency in a developing system of community-based care and utilizes a multidisciplinary in-home case-management approach to serve elderly persons at risk. Non-traditional referral sources known as “gatekeepers” are organized to identify such persons.Keywords
