Abstract
Medical care utilization patterns and perceived health needs of 251 ambulatory elderly participants at the Lenox Hill Senior Citizen Center and New York Hospital clinics are compared using data from an interview survey. Two-thirds of the elderly were generally satisfied with their health cam and opposed to a specialized geriatrics facility. Respondents expressed a need for more information about medicalcare, particularly services in emergency situations.Keywords
