A macroplan and a microplan for geriatric care are outlined. The terms geriatric medicine and geriatric patient are defined. A typical extended community geriatric team is illustrated by means of a table, as well as an overall plan for coordinating these services. The expectations of the geriatrician in respect of the contributions to be made by the physiotherapist are discussed under five headings.
