Abstract
Geriatric and Family Services at the University of Washington [Washington, USA] provides a comprehensive evaluation and treatment program for the impaired elderly and also offers support, counseling and practical advice for their families. Although most of the 76 patients in this 1st-yr study had cognitive impairment, .apprx. 1/4 of them showed unequivocal motor, cognitive and/or affective improvement with treatment for previously undetected illnesses. The rating of unequivocal improvement required objective data and corroboration by the patient and family. These therapeutic gains and the increased public interest led to expansion of the program.
