title: A prediction score for geriatric rehabilitation projects.
abstract: An Activities of Daily Living score was calculated for 61 patients admitted to a geriatric rehabilitation unit. The score provided good correlation with subsequent placement of these patients. Improvement within one month of admission was a good indication of probable discharge to a Residential Home for the Elderly or discharge to own home.
