AbstractA day hospital is an important adjunct to in-patient care in geriatric practice. The functions of a geriatric day hospital have been stated as rehabilitation, maintenance, assessment, medical and nursing care, and social care. However, the central role of a geriatric day hospital is to provide multidisciplinary rehabilitation for patients with chronic disability. For this rehabilitative role to be realized, a day hospital has to be provided with adequate social and medical supportive services, together with a reliable transport system.
