Abstract
A random sample of elderly people aged 75 and over living in their own homes were questioned about their experiences, knowledge and beliefs about three hospital in-patient facilities: general medical and geriatric wards, and geriatric hospitals. Attitudes towards geriatric wards and hospitals were consistently less positive than those towards general medical wards.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
