| Annotation | Groups of older people, matched by level of dependency and probability of dementia, was identified in day centres, day hospitals, wards, and local authority residential homes, and followed up over 9 months to determine the impact of type of care upon outcome. No difference in mortality or changes in dementia scores were found, but the survivors' levels of dependency improved most in day centres and local authority homes. The findings, and the problems of matching, are discussed. (AKM). |
