The contents cover various aspects of day hospital care for the elderly, focusing on epidemiological factors and treatment efficiency. It begins with an exploration of the epidemiological background to day hospital care and includes a survey of geriatric day hospitals in Great Britain. The goals and limitations of gerontopsychiatric treatment are discussed, alongside international comparisons, highlighting experiences from countries such as the Netherlands and Sweden. The text examines the indications, evaluation, and efficiency of day hospital care, presenting studies on patient characteristics and experiences from a psychiatric hospital over five years. Cost comparisons between geriatric day hospitals and full inpatient care are analyzed, along with differential indications for day hospital versus outpatient treatment. Current challenges and experiences in day care facilities are addressed, including the complexities of patient discharge from day hospitals and the emergence of new needs. The influence of institutional frameworks on treatment outcomes is also considered, with comparisons drawn between different geriatric day hospitals. The role of physical and occupational therapy in these settings is discussed, culminating in a summary of day hospital treatment in old age. The annotation concludes with a list of authors contributing to the research.
