| 要約: | Care of the elderly in the community can be augmented by community hospitals. We describe the modus operandi of the first two community hospitals developed for local needs. This system provides for continuing care of the elderly near their own homes; support for relatives; a reduced burden on acute beds in the district general hospital; more direct involvement of general practitioners in resolving medico-social problems; and a reduction in work-load on central consultant services. |
