[Gerontopsychiatric patients in psychiatric facilities].
The population of Vienna is relatively old. The structure of care and support for aged patients is described. The relative share of aged patients in all admissions to the large mental hospital is smaller than their share in total population. Reduction in the number of in-patients also included the group of patients over 65 years. The task force "Ubergangspflege" (i.e.: transitional nursing) prepares and supports the deinstitutionalization of recently admitted and of long-stay patients. Utilization of a regionalized out-patients psychiatric department shows differences between the age group 60-80 years and the group over 80 years.
