Abstract：
:The physician is increasingly asked to play a role in relocating elderly patients to special housing. The goal is to find the housing that is best suited to the patient's needs. Important factors to be considered are building design, sponsorship, financing and nonshelter services. Proper housing, with appropriate support services, enables the elderly to remain independent longer and contributes to their physical and mental health.
