The numbers and characteristics of white residents identified by medical and nursing staff as requiring more staff time and/or expertise and/or medical equipment than is available in homes for the aged were assessed. Only 27 out of 2,447 (1.1%) extremely infirm aged persons resident in 93 homes for the aged would, in the opinion of institutional staff, benefit by admission to a long-term care hospital catering for chronically ill. The conditions affecting these residents are described and recommendations relating to their management made.
对医护人员认定需要比养老院现有更多的工作人员时间、专业知识和/或医疗设备的白人居民的数量和特征进行了评估。在93家养老院居住的2447名（1.1%）极度体弱的老年人中，据机构工作人员估计，只有27人入住为慢性病患者提供服务的长期护理医院会受益。文中描述了影响这些居民的状况，并就其管理提出了建议。
