    AbstractRehabilitation means 'to restore to previous condition, rights, privileges, to attain some degree of independence (New Oxford Dictionary). The general practitioner will inevitably be involved in deciding when and where the patient will go. With increasing care, understanding and effort, it is hoped that with the above in mind, an increasing number of seemingly incapable elderly people will be helped. Just as with other age groups, an increasing number of elderly will be able to continue making a worthwhile contribution to society and to solve their own problems in ways that they choose.
