    Author: Lehmkuhl D, Bosch G, Steinhart I.
    Journal: Z Gerontol; 1986; 19(1):56-64. PubMed ID: 3705697.
    Abstract:
    With regard to gerontological problems (multiple morbidity, insufficient epidemiological knowledge, under-assessment of mental illness, displacement) the results of a total survey of residents over 65 of age in all the geriatric nursing homes and homes for the elderly in the Berlin (W) district of Charlottenburg are presented. Our main interest was in the following items: diagnosis, psychopathology, clinical and personal data, medical and social care, extent of personal contacts with non-residents, and the institutional environment. Results are discussed and inferences for better care, particularly of the mentally ill residents, are indicated.
