Brooklyn-based Health and Mental Health Provider Directory

May 2011

2

About the Directory In the summer of 2010, the NYC Elder Abuse Center (NYCEAC) disseminated a survey to geriatric health and mental health providers, both private practitioners and organizations, in Brooklyn to assess their capacity and interest in working with the NYCEAC on providing assessment of, and treatment for, elder abuse victims. This directory provides a listing of those providers identified through the survey who provide medical and/or psychiatric services to older adults in Brooklyn and wanted to be included in a directory. Many of them are based in Brooklyn and serve all of, or parts of, the borough. Some of the providers listed also have the capacity to address elder abuse cases via elder abuse consultation, treatment for victims, treatment for abusers, and/or participation investigating and/or prosecuting elder abuse cases. Any Brooklyn-based provider responding to the survey was eligible for inclusion in this directory. Those listed in the directory completed a comprehensive questionnaire inquiring about where their work is conducted, languages spoken, areas of expertise, and more. Inclusion in the Directory does not imply endorsement by the NYCEAC – its staff or partnering agencies. After you have identified one or more specialists in the Directory, it is recommended that you phone the specialist(s) prior to giving the referral name(s) to the older client or patient. During this phone call, try to ascertain the following: • Does the provider accept Medicare? • Is the mental health provider currently accepting new referrals? If yes:

Is the information listed in the directory accurate (name, phone, address, language spoken or any other important criteria searched)

What appointment hours are available? Explain, in general terms, the presenting problem of the person you want refer. Inquire if the provider is familiar with handling these issues. Inquire about the provider's procedures for making first appointments with patients.

The NYCEAC thanks Kim Williams, LMSW, Director, The Center for Policy, Advocacy, and Education, MHA-NYC for her leadership in conducting the study and developing this Directory. Additional thanks are extended to the NYC Elder Abuse Center’s Health and Mental Health Survey Advisory Council for developing the survey and designing the survey methods: Deborah Heiser, PhD; Peg Horan, LCSW; Barbara Paris, MD; Julia Sear, LCSW; Judith Weissman, PhD; Kim Williams, LMSW. Finally, thank you to the NYCEAC’s many Steering Committee members who pilot tested the survey. We hope you find this Directory helpful to your work with elder abuse victims. Together we can prevent abuse, reduce suffering and increase the health and well-being of older New Yorkers.
