The main objective of geriatric day hospitals, that of physical rehabilitation of elderly patients mainly with strokes and arthritis, is matched by their facilities and their medical, nursing and therapy staffing. Patients attend by ambulance on 1 or 2 days a week for about 3 months for assessment and treatment, while continuing to live at home. Day hospitals are a popular and effective resource for the rehabilitation of selected patients, though not necessarily cheaper than institutional care. Problems remain in the separation of social care and psychogeriatric patients and in ambulance transport.
老年日间医院的主要目标是对主要患有中风和关节炎的老年患者进行身体康复，这与它们的设施以及医疗、护理和治疗人员配备相匹配。患者每周乘坐救护车前来1至2天，为期约3个月，以便进行评估和治疗，同时继续在家中生活。日间医院是选定患者康复的一种受欢迎且有效的资源，尽管不一定比机构护理便宜。社会护理与老年精神科患者的分离以及救护车运输方面仍然存在问题。
