The Geriatric Psychiatry Program of the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group provides a comprehensive range of services to meet the mental health needs of adults 65 years of age and over.
Patients with severe, multiple and/or complex psychiatric illnesses that require a longer period of hospitalization than can be provided in the Ottawa Inpatient service may be admitted to a 20-bed geriatric psychiatry unit located in Brockville.
Working together with families, primary care physicians, community psychiatrists and community agencies, our staff helps individuals improve the quality of their life and achieve their optimal level of functioning.Referrals are required from family physicians to access services of the Geriatric Psychiatry Program.
