[From geriatric psychology to old age psychiatry]. / De la psychogériatrie à la psychiatrie de la personne âgée.

The story of the old age psychiatry unit François-Rabelais at the hospital in Quimperlé shows the need for practices to evolve, the optimisation of care as well as a specific patient pathway approach. The patient as a player in his or her care remains a focal point. A personalised care project aims to ensure the continuous improvement of the quality of care. In practice, a shift towards ambulatory care shows that 'real life is not hospital' but home.
