New Program Offers Help to Seniors With Mental Illnesses
A new Ventura County program funded with a tax on California millionaires sends specialists and other help directly to seniors with serious mental illnesses. The program, which is expected to reduce the number of seniors admitted to inpatient care, replaces a similar program that was suspended five years ago during budget cutbacks in the county Behavioral Health Department.
