The Older Adult Service Team (OAST) offers comprehensive, specialized, and intensive clinical case management for older adults with mental health concerns, including substance abuse, to help them reach their goals while maintaining independence and dignity as they age in place.
Our Services
To help our participants meet their recovery goals, we offer individual therapy, case management, and psychiatric services – both in our clinic and in the community. In the community, Clinical Case Managers, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, and Peer Community Specialists engage in assertive community outreach and home visits while using evidence-based practices. These powerful tools provide excellent interventions for older adults living with severe and persistent mental illness.
Our Team
Felton staff receive extensive recovery-oriented training and serve by the principle of “meeting people where they are” in their recovery journey, using community and street-based strategies. We promote recovery-oriented, and culturally competent values. The team is committed to client-centered outcomes, including full community integration and inclusion.
