Medical screening of 100 old people at the time of their acceptance for admission to residential (part 3) care revealed a great deal of previously unreported yet treatable illness. As a result of screening, alternative care was thought more appropriate in 32 cases--hospital admission in 16, sheltered housing in 4, and remaining at home in 12. It is therefore suggested that the time of translocation of an old person from independent to institutional living is a time when medical screening is particularly appropriate.
对100名申请入住养老院（第三部分）的老人进行的医学筛查发现了大量此前未报告但可治疗的疾病。由于筛查结果，在32例病例中认为替代护理更为合适——16例住院，4例入住庇护性住房，12例留在家中。因此，有人建议，老人从独立生活转变为机构生活的这个阶段是进行医学筛查的特别合适的时机。
