Description
The Mental Health Service Older Persons (MHSOP) has a 16 bed specialist inpatient unit located at Te Whare Ra Uta on the Kenepuru campus.
Each person admitted to the inpatient unit has a primary nurse and associate nurse assigned to them; they are usually also assessed by the medical staff on the day of admission, and later during the admission, as the need is identified, by other members of the multidisciplinary team.
The multidisciplinary team works closely with whānau, informal support systems and other providers of health care services who will be actively involved in discharge planning alongside the person or tāngata whaiora.
