“…When hospital‐discharged patients are admitted to nursing homes, for example, it is believed by many physicians that continued rehabilitative management should be started immediately, and that the physician should continue his close medical supervision (13, 14). It is felt also that close medical and psychiatric consultation and observation permit prophylaxis and early treatment of exacerbations and of new disabling conditions (15). Some writers suggest that what is needed is a complete rehabilitation team, encompassing care from within the hospital to the patient's home in the community and to the extra‐hospital way‐stations—the nursing and/or custodial institutions (16).…”

The question of whether rehabilitation programs should be included in nursing‐home care has been answered affirmatively, both in the professional literature of the past decade and by recent legislative action which focuses on the healthcare problems of the elderly. The major issue at present is the breadth and intensity of such programs. As this brief review of the literature has indicated, the success of rehabilitation goals is conditioned by the following factors: the mental and physical status and the social situation of the patient; the experience, professional training and rehabilitation‐oriented outlook of the attending personnel; the rehabilitation resources available in the nearby community; and the ability of the nursing home to afford the costs of the rehabilitation program in terms of dollars, personnel, time, professional services, and equipment. However, even when the breadth of a nursing‐home rehabilitation program has to be restricted because of any of the foregoing factors, the program can at least focus on aiding patients to regain some personal, though minimal, independence. This accomplishment has benefits for both the patient and the nursing home: the patient benefits from the improvement in his psychological if not physical state, and the nursing home benefits because more of the personnel's time is available for other patient‐care services.

Few studies using an experimental design have examined the outcomes of mental health services in nursing homes. Program descriptions and uncontrolled outcome studies suggest that preferred practice includes the routine presence of qualified mental health clinicians in the nursing home, that optimal services are interdisciplinary and multidimensional, and that the most effective interventions blend innovative approaches to training and education with consultation and feedback on clinical practices.
