Collaborative Action Program

The Collaborative Action Program (CAP) works in partnership with Mental Health Services to the Elderly and the Royal District Nursing Service to support older people with multiple and complex needs in their community.

CAP provides a range of practical and social and treatment options to enable older people who have a mental illness and complex needs to have an enhanced quality of life, and the support to thrive in their own homes and communities.

Services include: personal care, social support, re-engagement of clients into community activities and networks, respite, referral and nursing services.

Clients

Older people who are over 60 years of age and who have dementia or mental illness or both and who demonstrate challenging behaviours.

People eligible for this service may have difficulty accessing mainstream programs or are at risk of premature admission to institutionalised care, and may have limited social connections and/or are estranged from family members.
