Older Adults Therapeutic Service (OATS)

The Older Adults Therapeutic Service (OATS) is provided by Black Country Healthcare Foundation Trust. We provide a wide variety of evidence based therapeutic interventions within community locations for older adults (65 +) with mental health challenges or people of any age diagnosed with Dementia. For people diagnosed with Dementia, the interventions can include information following a diagnosis and facilitation of initial Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST). Referrals are accepted from services within Black Country Healthcare Foundation Trust and from local third-party Dementia support services. For people with functional mental health challenges, recovery focused support can be offered through education, skills-based training and facilitation of peer support. Referrals are accepted from teams within Black Country Healthcare Foundation Trust only.
