title: [Ambulatory psychosocial and rehabilitation services in cerebral cognitive deficits].
abstract: Because of the well known changes in social and demographic structure of our population the availability of an integrated and coordinated attainment for psychosocial care for people with impaired cerebral function is of increasing importance. Vienna as the capital of the Federal Republic of Austria has structured psychosocial welfare services for the entire city, which consists of 8 psychosocial service regions ("catchment-areas"). 1 for every 200.00 inhabitants. For elderly psychosocially handicapped persons special supplies are provided. In this survey the methods and activities of these facilities are described. The increasing demand of psychosocial care for outpatients in the age of above 80 years is discussed; the importance of home visits is stressed.
