Needs for Accessing and Using Social Work Services in Mental Health Care of Older Adults
Hue Nguyen Thi
Abstract
Older adults are facing health challenges, especially mental health. The increased need for care leads to the
expansion of formal care services and increases costs. The need for caregivers for the older adults is
increasing. Concentrated care services often include 24-hour supervision, support for daily living activities,
nursing, rehabilitation, adaptation support, psychology, therapy, social activities, etc. Concentrated care
services are available at hospitals, nursing homes or social protection facilities/centers certified/licensed by
the state. Therefore, the study of the current demand for social work services in mental health care for the
older adults is a topic that needs to be researched and implemented through research questions such as: (i)
What are the current needs of the older adults for social work services to care for their mental health? (ii) Do
these services adequately meet the current mental health care needs of the older adults?
