title: [Ambulatory geriatric rehabilitation--scope, models, prospects].
abstract: At present the further development of outpatient geriatric rehabilitation is characterized by contradictions. On the one hand the legal basis and political statements on this matter emphasize the two principles/aims "home care comes before institutional care" and "rehabilitation comes before nursing care". On the other hand deficits with regard to the infrastructure, insufficient cooperation and coordination among the relevant parties as well as the existing payment system for benefits provided hinder the realization of these principles/aims. This paper does not only describe those barriers in detail but also outlines framework conditions and specific models which would facilitate the further positive development of outpatient geriatric rehabilitation.
