Since 2000, the mobile team of Bretonneau Hospital in Paris has helped to improve the assessment and care management of the elderly at home by strengthening the link between community health professionals and hospital geriatric services. In January 2008, an external mobile geriatric team working with nursing homes was created for the whole of the Paris area in order to strengthen the link between care homes accommodating often highly dependent elderly people and the hospital.
