A holiday for long-stay psychogeriatric patients
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
In recent years there has been increasing interest in long-stay psychogeriatric patients. Hilton et al (1989) and Anderson (1990) have described the profile and characteristics of this population, confirming clinical impressions of the severe degree of cognitive impairment and high dependency levels among such patients. At the same time, there has been a trend towards more active intervention in the type of care provided, moving away from the traditional custodial approach and towards more supportive continuing care models.
