title: [The geriatric day hospital (author's transl)].
abstract: The author surveys the development of geriatric care in Great Britain and describes the relationship between geriatric medicine and psychogeriatrics. Both specialties have evolved within the system of progressive patient-care day hospitals. The responsible ministry lays down a norm of two places in both the psychogeriatric unit and geriatric days hospitals to every one thousand people aged 65 and over. The author presents the range of functions of the geriatric day hospital as well as its role within the framework of facilities caring for the aged.
