What is day hospital?

Good luck.

It’s really helpful!

Day hospitals are health-care facilities, which patients can attend during the daytime and in which multidisciplinary assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation are available. Attendance may be daily for the whole week or for part of the week; some services are available at the weekend. The role of day hospital includes intensive multidisciplinary assessment and treatment for older people with complex mental health needs; gatekeeping for inpatient admissions; rehabilitation; time-limited interventions such as individual and group psychological interventions; education, information, and advice for carers; monitoring effects and side effects of medication; and support for care staff in other services to enable older patients to be managed at home.
