โœฆ Synopsis

The wellbeing of attenders of an old age psychiatry day hospital and their carers was assessed as the unit closed over a 2-week period. Decline in the wellbeing of carers and attenders was seen with a regression to preclosure levels. The results suggest the importance of the day hospital to the patients and their carers. The problems of evaluation at short notice are discussed.
