title: [The consultative missions of a mobile psychogeriatric unit].
abstract: Helping elderly people over the age of 70 suffering from mental health problems to remain at home is one of the missions of the mobile psychogeriatric unit of Simone-Veil Hospital in Eaubonne. In a nursing home, then at home, the aim is to avoid certain hospitalisations. Institutions accept more readily residents with a history of psychiatric problems and the prescriptions. Furthermore, requests for intervention are better targeted by general practitioners for the benefit of the elderly patients.
