10 – Geriatric Day Clinic

Patients can be treated in a geriatric day clinic following in-patient treatment or in lieu of hospitalization.

 For the health care of older people, the day clinic is an important link between out-patient and in-patient clinics. It is useful when discharge to the home environment is possible, but a more intensive therapy should follow previous rehabilitation treatments or firmly establish previous health improvement.

Prerequisite for admission to the day clinic is the ability to be transported and the presence of sufficient care for the evenings, nights and weekends.
