A geriatric assessment and rehabilitation unit in a rehabilitation hospital.

This paper presents process and outcome data for a geriatric assessment unit in a rehabilitation hospital whose focus is on short-term rehabilitation. While the results presented here are positive, they are descriptive and do not prove a cause and effect relationship between the geriatric assessment and rehabilitation unit care and the outcomes described. This unit is currently being evaluated by a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial.
