Extract

This article will first set rehabilitation nursing and the older person into an appropriate context and then address the nature of rehabilitation nursing, how definitions have developed over time and lastly, what it is that we now provide, in conjunction with others, to meet the rehabilitative needs of our older population. The boundaries defining ‘old’, and between seeing a person as experienced, a bit wrinkly, forgetful and perhaps eccentric, versus a person who is old and demented are by no means clear-cut.
