title: [Coordination of aid to the elderly in the environment of a local community health unit in Lombardy. Organizational experiences].
abstract: A group of geriatric specialists retained their involvement after suppression of a geriatrics division as part of the Lombard Region's hospital plan. Reference is made to the geriatric orientation bestowed on a rehabilitation medicine division, the experiences of a geriatric out-patient department in a hospital, links with rest homes, the social services, the home care services, and family physicians. Updating, training and support activities that can be carried out to help domiciliary service workers are described, along with the support that can be given to rest homes, especially if they have no sheltered structures. Stress is laid on the possible coordination of aid to the elderly on the part of persons operating within a departmental rehabilitative structure.
