The following article is a revised version of a paper read by the author at the Annual general Meeting of the federal Working Team for Rehabilitation in November 1990 in Hamburg. Basing on the increasing risk of elderly people being in need of care, the possibilities of rehabilitation also for elderly persons are discussed. The basic position of the paper is the axiom that rehabilitation should rank before caring for a person who lacks the ability to "pull himself together" and just remains passive. The paper deals with the structural features of genuine need for care and present-day medical and nursing care situation of the elderly and their relatives who look after them. Finally, the central components of an overall rehabilitation concept for elderly persons are presented.
以下文章是作者于1990年11月在汉堡举行的联邦康复工作小组年度大会上宣读的一篇论文的修订版。基于老年人需要护理的风险日益增加，本文还讨论了老年人康复的可能性。本文的基本观点是一个公理，即对于那些缺乏“自我振作”能力而只能消极被动的人，康复应先于护理。本文探讨了真正的护理需求的结构特征以及老年人及其照顾他们的亲属目前的医疗和护理状况。最后，介绍了老年人全面康复概念的核心组成部分。
