| Annotation | Fifth in a series of 14 articles on the theme, Caring for older people. General practitioners and community nurses are in a unique position to identify loneliness, as they are in contact with very old people, bereaved people, and people with disabilities - the groups most at risk. This article concentrates on the incidence of loneliness and ways of offsetting its most disturbing effects, such as activities; specialist groups; and suggestions specifically for housebound people. |
