Resumen
Background:
Older people attending day care centers improve their social activities, perception of quality of life and reduce their institutionalization rate and risk of mortality in the medium term.
Aim:
To evaluate the changes in the integral geriatric assessment and frailty of a group of older people attending a day care center in Santiago.
Material and Methods:
Health self-perception, integral geriatric assessment, Barthel scale, frailty indicators, mini-mental state scale, Yesavage depression score and a scale about solitude perception were evaluated in 35 participants aged 73 ± 6 years on admission and at discharge from a day care center for older people.
Results:
At discharge, significant improvements were observed for depression, perception of social support and physical frailty. However, no changes in functional status, cognitive function and perception of solitude were observed.
Conclusions:
Older people attending improve their perception of social support and decrease their frailty and depression scores.
