- Elders the Journal of Care and Practice, 4(4), December 1995, pp.37-50.
The efficient discharge of older people from hospital is a crucial factor in the successful implementation of current community care policies. This article describes a project which was set up to try and avoid the premature admission of some older people into residential and nursing home care, which was thought to be occurring due to pressure on acute hospital beds. The project focused on providing interim care arrangements for people to bridge the gap between them leaving a hospital ward and immediately returning home. The article concludes by identifying factors for the successful implementation of such schemes.
