Methodology in geriatric medicine.
Geriatric Medicine encompasses physical, mental and social problems in the elderly individual. To cater for varied changing needs a flexible system is required providing a range of services. A positive approach is advocated: without this, institutions will be overwhelmed by the flood of immobile, bedridden aged. Individualised care needs to be developed to ensure a good old age.
