A recent state-wide survey of
county-operated medical facilities
revealed institutions poorly
equipped and under-staffed to
provide rehabilitative care for
elderly patients.
Conducted by the University's
Division of Gerontology, the sur-
vey included all 39 county-oper-
ated facilities in Michigan.
A grant to the University for
research in human resources dur-
ing 1956-57 covered the $13,000
cost of the survey.
Compares With Standards
Comparison with national stan-
dards for maximum administra-
tive efficiency and rehabilitative
care found many of the county fa-
cilities overcrowded. Full-time
specialists in medical and rehabil-
itative care were employed by few
of the institutions.
Wilma T. Donahue, chairman
of the Division of Gerontology,
commenting on the survey said,

"Most institutions and their old-
er residents are eager for help in
establishing more effective reha-
bilitation programs."
"Generally speaking, county
medical care facilities are doing
the best they can with the per-
sonnel and resources they have,"
she said, "But in many instances,
they lack the funds and staff ne-
cessary to carry out an extensive
rehabilitation program."
Admits Residenits
Residents wholly or partially
dependent on public funds were
admitted by all the institutions
included in the survey. Mentally
ill cases were accepted by only
half, some only until such time
as other arrangements could be
made.
Medical care standards require
every patient to be given a com-
plete medical exanination at spe-

cified intervals. They also call for
segregation of acute illness cases.
Only 14 met the medical exam-
ination requirement and all but
one reported bed changes in the
case of acute illness.
Lack Personnel
A lack of specialized personnel
was brought out in the survey.
Nine of the institutions failed to
employ a full-time general prac-
titioner.
None employed specialists from
such fields as physical medicine
or dentistry on a full-time basis.
The report found that the lack
of, specialized personnel, inplud-
ing those who are vital to any re-
habilitative program, Is fairly ob-
vious.
"This does not mean, however,
that the institutions as a whole
were totally lacking in rehabili-
tation procedures," the report
continued.
