title: [Development of geriatrics in Germany].
abstract: After an inquiry of the Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Sozialordnung by the responsible Landesministers, the number of inpatient geriatric institutions rose by about 34% from 1997 to 2000 and the number of partly inpatient geriatric institutions rose by 106% in the same timeframe. Outpatient geriatric rehabilitation institutions are, on the other hand, still basically nonexistent, whose number has risen from 9 to 12 since 1997. The situation is similar for mobile outpatient services, whose number doubled from 5 to 10.
