Placement decisions in the elderly.

Placement decisions for the elderly involve assessment of social, mental, physical and functional parameters. Matching the patient's needs with the resources in the community can be a complex task. The family physician may have to act as the leader of a diverse team. Interaction with the family is necessary to construct a workable plan that allows the elderly individual to reach a maximal and satisfying level of functioning.
