KEY PRINCIPLES OF GERIATRIC CARE: Sudden change comes from sudden problems... Gradual decline may not be Alzheimer's disease... Medication use in the elderly is a major drug problem in America... Ageist attitudes are harmful... Seek and treat dis-ease, not just disease... Strive to maximize quality of life and functional ability... and, lastly... There is ALWAYS something that can be done to to help!
