Community-Based Rehabilitation: Better Quality of Life for Older Rural People with Disabilities.
Eldar, Reuben
Journal of Rural Health, v17 n4 p341-44 Fall 2001
Categories of age-related disabilities are described. The goal of rehabilitation is to enable elderly individuals to continue living at home with some independence. In rural areas, this goal can be attained through rehabilitation in the community by nurses, volunteers, the elderly themselves, and family members; provision of appropriate assistive technology; and adaptation of the immediate environment.
