Abstract
Abstract: An initial report is presented concerning the establishment of a new type of “partial hospitalization unit” in an urban area to bridge the increasingly large, alarming and unmet gap between the services provided by state psychiatric hospitals and the essentially nonpsychiatric services provided by senior citizens centers for elderly men and women.The authors describe the need for day centers specifically designed and staffed in a fashion which can offer: 1) the therapeutic resources for a flexible, individually prescribed program to meet the emotional, psychic and social needs of each person referred to the Center, and 2) an active program of re‐education and remotivation while cooperating with the patient's regimen for physical rehabilitation.
