The Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment (CRHT) team's role in acute mental healthcare services for working age adults is well established throughout England, but this is less so for older adults despite government policy and initiatives promoting equality of care. The authors highlight the need to extend this care model to older people's mental healthcare and suggest some possible ways of achieving this. Copyright © 2010 Wiley Interface Ltd
