Abstract
Traditional home health care agencies across the country have provided emotional support in conjunction with medical-surgical follow-up services. It has only been in recent years that agencies have focused on specialized mental health programs. This article discusses the development of a mental health program and describes a case history that exemplifies how effective a home care mental health program can be. Home care services must not be overlooked as an effective part of the treatment of mental disorders. The home and community provide the most realistic environment for the patient as he or she reaches for recovery.
