Hospital Discharge of Older People with Cognitive Impairment to Care Homes
British Geriatrics Society - Compendium document 4.13 (published December 2006)
The scope of this document is confined to the safe and appropriate discharge of older people with cognitive impairment from hospital to a care home. It is a given, within the context of this document, that discharge to any other care setting has been deemed inappropriate as the result of a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). A separate British Geriatrics Society (BGS) compendium document deals with the wider context of hospital discharge of frail older people.
