Just like the car, small tune ups can make it last for decades. When this applies to mental health how exactly is it done? How is money saved without giving up time honoured values of responsibility and privacy beliefs? Using our services means that we assess your need and coordinate with your existing health care providers & obtain a medical summary. This is called a biopsychosocial approach. Does it save money ? Yes. It is friendlier too focusing on caring about the resident.

OBJECTIVE: ... In this study the cost of integrated care by a psychiatrist was compared with split care. METHOD: Using 1998 fee schedules of seven large managed care organizations (with 54.3% market share and 67.8 million lives) plus Medicare (37 million people), the author modeled clinical scenarios of psychotherapy alone, medication alone, and combined treatment provided by a psychiatrist or split with a psychologist or social worker. RESULTS: Brief psychotherapy by a social worker was the least expensive treatment. When treatment required both psychotherapy and medication, combined treatment by a psychiatrist cost about the same or less than split treatment with a social worker psychotherapist; it was usually less expensive than split treatment with a psychologist psychotherapist. CONCLUSIONS: The integrated biopsychosocial model practiced by psychiatry is both theoretically and economically the preferred model when combined treatment is needed.

Senior caregiver support has its limits. In a rare situation the caregiver knows how to manage different aspects of emotional care, coordinate with providers so that the intervention is emotionally comfortable, monitor behaviour so that meds are at the same dose as behaviour, and lower the risk of conflict. Conflict may be from burnout. Your health care provider is not exempt from it either.
