Care of the elderly at home: serving the family in the community.

This is a report on a community seminar, jointly sponsored by Toronto East General and Orthopaedic Hospital and the Borough of East York. The object was to provide information, support and a milieu for discussion for those caring for an elderly person at home. The planning committee included health-care professionals and agencies from both the hospital and the community. Two questionnaires were distributed and results indicated that the objectives had been met.
