Good health care for the aged.

Despite the recent upsurge of interest in geriatrics, relatively little guidance has been given on what constitutes good health care for the aged. Ten basic principles for good health care are outlined. They include emphasis on the restoration of functional ability; the building and maintenance of a support system; a broadened approach to health assessment; the application of specific medical knowledge and skills; cautious medical intervention; true advocacy for the patient; the acceptance of the legitimacy of death; increased community orientation; the allowance of sufficient time for recovery; and continuity of care. These principles should serve as the basis for educational, research, and service programs for the aged.
