In Switzerland the majority of elderly persons with psychiatric disorders live in their own families or in their own community and receive – if necessary – support by professional care services. The demographic development, the multi-dimensional nature of the care of the elderly, and the complexity of the in-patient and out-patient provision of services necessitates a specifically interdisciplinary approach involving medical, geriatric, and geronto-psychiatric concepts and interventions. Strategies adopted to ensure a high standard of care provision must be coordinated at the appropriate levels of responsibility which include the federal, the cantonal, and the communal levels. A further basic necessity is the inclusion of patients, their families, special interest groups, and advocacy groups especially in the treatment of dementia disorders.
